tropdude Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 <p>SilverFast Experts:</p><p>I am looking for the exact specifications that allows batch scanning thousands of 35 mm slides using:<br />Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED<br />Nikon SF-210 feeder<br /><strong>SilverFast (NikonM).8ba (vers 6.6.2r5)</strong><br /> <br /> It is important that SilverFast is set to provide the <strong>maximum image quality</strong> (pixel size, depth..., etc.) one can obtain from the original slide, yet does not require manual adjusting for each individual slides. I do not want to have any pre-processing (dust/scratch removal, color adjustment, etc.), but just the raw data in maximum possible quality. Storage space, length of scan are not a factor.</p><p>To start to decide what are the best parameters for the above goal, here are the initial specifications (enclosed in the image):</p><p>What settings on the enclosed screenshot are incorrect?<br /><br /> On the vertical-icon menu panel what should be disabled and enabled (and if enabled, use what settings)? (For example, multi-exposure or multi-scan [of a s ingle slide] can be adjusted. Do yuo expect better image quality, and if yes from which one and how many multi-scan.)</p><p>Thanks!</p><p><img src="http://s26.postimg.org/yq34dknh5/SF_2.jpg" alt="" width="1279" height="1028" /></p><p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropdude Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 <p>Further questions:</p> <p>5000ED's max scan resolution is 4,000 <strong>dpi</strong>. Setting the SilverFast to 6,000 or 8,000 dpi would provide an extrapolation. But would this extrapolation be better than you would get in Photoshop or practically is the same?</p> <p>What should be the <strong>Q-Factor</strong> and <strong>lpcm</strong> setting?</p> <p>Under the <strong>Options</strong>, does anything appears incorrect? (Densitometer radius, Interpolation, Profiules for ICM: Gray, etc.)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
