michael_hintlian1 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I recieved a new Canon 9950f last night and immediately made a test scan to see what would happen. I scanned a 4X6" color print at the maximum resolution (1200dpi) and noticed immediately that there were artifact issues when FARE was turned on. Is this the way it is or am I missing something? I have not tried a negative or slide as yet and I am hoping this is an anomaly. If it is how FARE performs then it is completely useless; worse yet it hurts more than it helps. Anyone have thoughts? Here are examples, the artifact areas are within the white boxes. Thanks! MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_hintlian1 Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Mendel... Thanks for your question...I guess it isn't immediately apparent. If you look in the white boxes, any of the shadow areas have blotchy areas that appear like sharpening artifacts...they are not. If you look at the big box to the left, there is a cable running up and down through the image...it goes black against the black area and develops a white edge. In the right of that box you will also see a series of circular artifacts. In the image on top, look in the shadow behind the front wheel of the car and the shadow area just in front of the rear wheel. See what I mean? If you look you will see them. And they do show up in the printed image. I have attached a full view of the scene for what it is worth. The artifacts pepper the entire image, these examples are to give the basic idea. What do you think? Best, MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieris_berreitter Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Yep. Happens on mine as well. I found FARE useless for reflective media. However it works fine for transparent media (slides, negs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendel_leisk Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Ok, thanks. Pieris has answered, I think. Looks like *partially* cleaned remnants I get (with ICE, on different scanner). Except, it's actually part of the picture it's attempting to clean. Sounds like trying to use ICE on black and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_hintlian1 Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Just tried a film scan and there appears to be no issues using FARE (on "medium"). Cool. How do I set the scanner software to scan in 48-bit? MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
