Works with almost all film/slide scanners. Then I use a white brush where the sky is one color, there is no detail, and the dust bunnies are zapped. VueScan is the ultimate tool for all your film and slide scanning needs. Photo Two: This picture is after white balancing and touch up in Photoshop CS5.įor large blank areas like a blue sky I create a duplicate layer, use Gaussian Blur at about 18%, add about 8% noise (you have to compensate for the blurring of grain) and block that layer with an opaque mask. Photo One: This is the picture after scanning doing my best job of white balancing in Vuescan, (which is what I use for image capture on my Coolscan V and Epson V700 photo scanners.) All the photos I scan are run through Photoshop after scanning and then through a number of filters and gone over with the touch-up brush before output. You can't use Digital Ice on Kodachrome or Black and White film. I am attempting to archive a batch of slides from a few decades ago. Well, in my experience, if I am scanning Kodachrome that is normal. It makes sense that one of the VueScan alternatives is an Adobe software mastodon.

Now you have to find out what frame numbers the actual slides have. After that choose List instead of All in the Batch Scan options.

Choose All in the Batch Scan options drop-down menu. I've gotten a few e-mails from folks about slide scanning and dust. The VueScan full version allows you to scan photos, documents, films or slides very quickly. To only scan the four slides follow these steps: Enable Batch Scan in the Input tab.
