Wettschein Scanner

The result was an enormous MB plus file, which enabled us to crop various sections at high resolution and magnification. This very high-resolution scan for such a large negative was chosen as it delivered the best-looking image at high magnification.

We also tried a scan at ppi but found no improvements, only bloated files that took longer to scan, so we did not use it.

The optimum focus of V scanners is known to vary, so we first determined the optimum elevation for our unit by scanning the new ScanScience target.

It turned out to be 2. The negative was very flat, so the un-sharpness of the dry scan was due solely to the inadequacies of dry scanning, which throws away much of the quality.

Both images are raw, with no manipulations whatsoever by the scanner software or Photoshop. Image 1 , is a small section at the center, and you can see that hole in the mesh of the source image.

You would not know the image was that sharp from the dry scan. The detail in the mesh and its contrast are phenomenal in the wet scan. Image 2 is a small crop from the left corner of the source image.

The wet scanned image is still sharper than the dry, but the difference between them is not as significant because camera lenses are less sharp at the corners.

Notice also that the blacks are blacker and contrast is greater in the wet scan. You must use Silverfast or Vuescan. Image from Source 5x7 Negative.

Image 1. Dry Scan. Scancience Fluid-Scan. Image 2. Essential Knowledge. I have an Imacon scanner, and because of the Lumina scanning fluid, I am able to make wet scans with it.

These wet scans exceed the quality of some drum scanners. The fluid is wonderful because you don't have to clean it off.

It just evaporates, so it eliminates much of the pain of wet scanning. ScanScience worked with me personally to develop the system, and since then it's the only system I use to scan my slides and negatives.

When ScanScience developed it, they told me that the scans would now be sharper, with less grain than without the fluid, and they were absolutely right".

You must use proper software for film scanning. We recommend Silverfast Ai Studio 8. The purpose of this section is two-fold: It acquaints you with the capacity of film as a recording medium compared to digital.

Perhaps more important to all photographers, it covers the most critical points in choosing the color space when scanning and when printing from Photoshop.

The scans shown below are unedited dry and wet scans. These scans show the difference in resolution of dry as compared to wet scanning. Wet scanning can do this because it is an optical technique.

No manipulations of any kind were applied. W hat you see is the unedited scan. Aircraft radar can thus be said to be one of the most important parts of the traffic as we know it today, as it has so many different benefits.

The more advanced our radar technology becomes, the easier it is to keep track of all sorts of traffic and in this way to ensure that it is coordinated to perfection.

The radar has certainly made it a lot safer to fly than before. I personally hate to fish, but when your Uncle asks you to do something you comply.

The image here is of my Uncle fishing Sulphur Creek. There were 30 lb King Salmon running up the creek at the time but he was fishing for trout.

The salmon would have been not very good eating even if it was legal to actually take them home at the time as they are at the end of their life and half wasted away.

Goerz Rectagon Lens large format lens mounted on it. This gives an image with about a 90 degree angle of view. I wet scanned this at ppi so of course the actual.

Note the amount of detail that the wet scanning can extract from this film is so good that you can make out my Uncle fishing on the shoreline!

So obviously the Epson V can give some great results and the ScanScience wet mounting kit can enhance these results even further and ensure that the negatives remain perfectly flat in the process.

I am still working on my technique to minimize dust that has to be digitally removed later, but that will simply take practice.

Since the labs that I use charge so much for scans and these scans are worse or at best equal to what I can get from the Epson V, I think my days of having scans with my developing are over.

A note about scanning software. That supplied with the V cannot access the High Pass Optics of the scanner.

That supplied with the V I purchased does but the software would not work with my latest version of Mac OS.

As a result, if you purchase either the V or V you will have to upgrade the software supplied to access these High Pass Optics. Many thanks to John for coming back to us with another fantastic article.

If you have your own experiences or tips please leave them in the comments below. Thanks JCH. Camera hunter, photographer, camera geek, Tokyoite and Englishman all rolled into one gracefully balding package.

I have been living and working in Tokyo for 14 years now and it is my home. Tokyo is heaven for cameras and I know the secret spots and special places.

Let me be your 'camera enabler'. I considered buying an Epson Vish for a long time but decided against it. Also, it can scan an uncut roll of 35mm in batch mode.

If your exposures on a single roll are very uniform, you can have the scanner scan the whole roll in batch mode. I use Vuescan instead of the outrageously overpriced Silverfast.

This also allows me to scan raw images. Hey, I have a V, and the special wet-scanning holder. I also have a Imacon Precision 2, and a was lucky finding them.

You mention that the scanner removes film grain, which seems odd to me. In some lab scans it very well could be that the lab is using more, probably too much, sharpening.

But also there is diffraction off the grain in a dry scan depending on the film type of course this diffraction is minimized in wet scanning because of the liquid that the light must pass though.

In the colour shot, perhaps the wet scan slightly opened up the shadows a little bit more. Wie du im Gewinnfall informiert werden willst, dass kannst du in deinem Wettaccount vorher einstellen.

Solltest Du unsicher sein, ob dein Wettschein verloren oder gewonnen hat, kannst du die Wettschein Abfrage immer noch persönlich im Wettaccount vornehmen.

Ich habe allerdings noch nie davon gehört, dass ein Online-Wettanbieter hier einen Fehler gemacht hat.
