Vuescan infrared clean for mac#

besides that one I linked to above, here's a female SCSI to USB cable that would fit in the other end of a male to male SCSI cable. That SCSI to USB adapter will make the connection, and I suppose I'll need to buy the Vuescan software.Īnd yes, there are all types of SCSI to USB adapters out there. I'll be scanning all my dad's old Kodachrome slides from the '50s through the '80s, and I'm going to use this scanner on a brand new, speedy HP desktop with Windows 8, and I'm not putting a new SCSI card in it.

Vuescan infrared clean for mac#

When Apple changed from OS9 to 0S10 (OSX), they changed to a UNIX based OS that required a whole new era of software for Mac computers, and Minolta, that I know of, never made software for OSX and that F-2900 scanner.īut I don't want to have to set up my old laptop either. it's a dual boot model, and it'll boot in the old Mac OS9 mode, and I have the Minolta scanning software installed and working there. I'm trying to turn my 64bit VueScan raw files into 48bit raw files in a way that ONLY infrared cleaning would be applied. This is similar to (and we think better than) the ICE and FARE algorithms. VueScans Filter Infrared clean option can be used to remove dust spots from film scans. This scanner has an infrared lamp for scanning film.

I could also go back and use my Minolta scanner with my old Mac Powerbook laptop from 2002 with a PC card to SCSI adapter that I have. If VueScan isnt working with the Firewire cable, try a USB cable, try a different Firewire port or a different Firewire cable. I'm still waiting for my SCSI to USB cable that I ordered to arrive, but I was originally trying to get the Minolta scanning software that came with my scanner to install before hand, which is a different issue.

Yes, that SCSI to USB adapter cable will do the trick, and with the Vuescan software, it shouldn't need any special driver for the USB, since Vuescan apparently bypasses the need for specific proprietary drivers, and it just sees most any scanner.
