Re: [OM] Film scanning - need help

[Chuck Norcutt]

Just a wild guess.  Is this possibly a scanner overheating problem?  Was 
the scanner powered on all during the time of your break?  Were the 
Nikon software scans you used for comparison done at a time where the 
scanner (if previously hot) had a chance to cool off?

I don't really think this scenario is very likely but it's the only 
thing that pops into my head.  You know that VueScan was operating 
correctly and that the Nikon software was operating correctly so one 
could infer that something funny may have been going on with the 
hardware in between.

OK, I just thought of another possibility.  VueScan's operation has been 
affected by a bug in itself or in the OS which only surfaced after long 
usage.  Restart VueScan or better, reboot the system and try again.
