It's astonishing that in 2008, after decades of building slide projectors (I'm looking with some wet eyes at at BRAUN PA2 from mid of the last century right now), the industry is not capable to cope with mechanics. I'm aware that it's basically Reflecta's failing to ship scanners that don't process slides properly in ascending order while the same device does it far, far better in reverse order (and I'm happy that it's not only me facing this while I regret that we all suffer the same). Now I learn that there is an option "creating a scan job" that I will try out thank you for adressing this. Anyway I don't like the idea to waste time by finding out which slides fail, then to turn these, to scan again, to check again and to adjust further failing slides, to post process the turned slide images and maybe to turn the slides back into the original position. The failures occured again.Īs work-a-round I tried to turn the slides in question by 90 degrees which showed improved results (but as well not perfect results so far). Even when inserting the descending order of slides to be scanned the scanner was ordered to position on the first slide selected and then started in ascending order. However, when trying the same with Silverfast AiStudio it didn't work. 10 % of failures with less than 1 slide on average on some 16 magazines during a busy weekend. Scanning in the reverse order (slide 36 to slide 1) produced max. There I had to list the slides (36, 35, 34. I experienced the same issue when using initially the program that came along with the scanner then finding the work-a-roundby scanning in the reverse order. Scanning in the order of the slides produces up to 50 % of failures in slide positioning (using a magazine holding 36 slides mounted into frames with 1.6 mm thickness). I can fully confirm the behaviour of Reflecta DigitDia 5000 in conjunction with Silverfast (AiStudio 6.5 and as well if patched to 6.6 equipment bought in May 2008) as reported by.
