I tried installing over the Epson Scan 2 I installed on the US site with a version of the Epson Scan from the JP (Japan) site but that has not worked. This is what I am seeing but when looking around I came across this video where the guy using Epson Scan was able to correctly select the transparency mode. However, this time around with the introduction of Epson Scan 2 I find myself in a predicament.Ĭurrently I have downloaded and installed all the correct drivers and updated all other related software yet the software won't show me any sort of transparency options so I can scan my film.

I have gone through Apple updates and having broken Epson software before.

Trying to get something for nothing really works sometimes, if what you're after is a headache.I've been using my Epson V600 (or sometimes, GT-X820) for 6 years. It was much smoother and snappy scanning large over there seeing as the software (PS) is actually made to run in that environment natively. Maybe my XP 圆4 partition still has a little life left in it afterall. Although, slanted horizons and film placed in the holder sloppily make this a miss more than hit proposition, so. to be able to crop right to the edge in Vuescan and be done with that part of it. I don't know why as I had never had that issue before.Īnyway, I do prefer the workflow you describe, and may just bite the bullet and do it that way regardless, but I'm hopeful for a little compromise i.e. My cropping boxes in PS do not work smoothly at all right now, either in the VM or under Wine. I'm trying to keep the file size as small as possible, but that still means a bit over 1.5GB initial file. Even with 4GB memory, trying to do this in a virtual machine, or even via Wine under Ubuntu, is a bit taxing. I'm scanning 6x9 images at 6400 dpi, then resampling down to 2400 in PS. Yes, Rick, that is the workflow that I once desired, and still do really, but I have a couple of issues with it right now.
