Notes from 3rd Oct 2004
[posted at 10:00 GMT]    

I have found yesterday little simple trick how to convince my scanner to do batch scanning again. I do normally preview scans of complete roll. That is my input, something like contact prints. Those are low resolution scans of each frame so I get something like 900x600 pixels picture. I was doing it from whatever reason always at full resolution of the scanner 2700dpi and than downsize picture to 1/4. Now I do scan at 1/4 of resolution (simple :-) and have it faster, maybe with less quality (for this use it is unimportant) but faster. And the most important my scanner works in batch in this resolution perfectly so I do whole roll something like in 20 minutes including time for changing negative stripes. I must say it is good again to see my photographs and things working!
