Hi all,
Thanks for your advice and links. I made following tests:-
1)
OS Ubuntu 16.04 desktop (spare PC AMD 8 cores with 8G RAM)
After having tried ONE day, unfortunately I'm unable to make Xsane scanning color negative films. The result of scanning is upload on file - screenshot.jpg.
Standard 0.999 EPSON Scanner 1:00
Code:
1 Viewer
+1 Type: JPEG
Transparency Adapter
Color
Kodak negative
800
Standard options EPSON Scanner 1:005
Code:
Scan Mode : Quality scan
Enchancement
Bit depth [bit] 16
(check) Qality calibration
Adalog gamma Red [1.800]
Analog gamma greed [1.800]
Analog gamma blue [1.800}]
Brightness [%] [-167]
Contrast [%] [46]
2)
But I'm able scanning color negative films on following PC (for daily working) running Windows 8.1:
AMD 8 cores with 32G RAM
Host - Ubuntu 16.04 desktop
VM - Windows 8.1 64bit
Oracle VirtualBox
Software download on;
Epson Perfection 3490 Photo
https://epson.com/Support/Scanners/P...ows+8.1+64-bit
It seems to me that Epson fully support Windows NOT Linux. They have up-to-date solfware even for Window 10 Home/Pro.
I followed below document to proceed;
How to Scan Negatives and Slides Using EPSON Scan
http://specular.dmc.dc.umich.edu/Gro...ng-epson-scan/
On "Choosing scan settings" under "Setting up the scanning software"
I have to make following adjustment on all color negative films
Image Adjustment
Yellow -> Blue [100]
Otherwise the scanned photos will not be clear with yellowish color. Please compare img052.jpg (yellow color) and img050.jpg upload. I don't know why???
It took me lengthy time to scan color negatives film.
I'll find a spare 120G SSD and install Windows 10 home or pro (on the daily working PC) to make another test to see whether the scanning result will be better and with faster scanning speed.
Today the cost of a scanner is NOT expensive. But I have to consider after having all my color negative films scanned, what shall I do with the scanner? I won't have further new color negative films to scan.
