Ctein is right about one thing, spotting is a pain. I promised myself that I would just clean up the faces, but I
can't help myself, and I spot more. IIRC, using VueScan's IR dust removal on low intensity worked decently on
Kodachrome last time I scanned slides. The problem is that by the time you get done with one pass for normal exposure,
maybe another for underexposed areas, plus another for the IR dustbuster, it can take forever. Scanning at less then
full resolution helps, since (as we've both seen) there isn't more detail to be had, anyway.
If you are sitting there waiting for it to scan, sure. I don't do that. I scan to 64 bit RAW (16 each for RGBI), the Raw
output of the scanner to an intermediate TIFF file. None of the adjustment settings are applied. I just notice or go by
to check once in a while when a set is done, then start another one. So it may take hours, I don't care, 'cause I'm not
babysitting it.
THEN, I set VueScan to "scan" from those files. Preview them all at once. Then, especially if they, or most of them, are
going to need the same settings, set everything, cropping, NR, Color Tab settings on the first one. All the rest will
default to the same settings, so I can run up through them, making any individual adjustments. Each 'scan' takes
seconds, and I can see the results immediately. For the KRs that I've scanned, all the shadow and highlight detail
that's actually there has been recoverable through settings on the Color Tab.
All the tedious physical scanning takes place almost without my involvement.
So it's a case of "pick your poison."
The above is mine. :-)
