![]() Quick alone doesn’t do it because the price is poor image quality or very lengthy work color correcting 48-bit scan files with an image editor. This is something many readers have written about, what is an efficient and fast way to get scanning done. I had loads of 35mm film frames selected, a multitude of subjects and varieties of films, and I just grabbed a bunch, maybe 100 to 150 images, and dove into scanning with the 9000f using all the methods supported by SilverFast using the software conventionally and traditionally, making high-bit raw scan files, and using the newest and most efficient kind of batch scanning, the SilverFast Archival Suite method. Since I tested the Plustek 7600i I've been doing a lot of personal scanning of my 35mm film library, a job I will never live long enough to finish. The first thing I did before making a scan with the 9000f and SilverFast was to use IT-8, and put a 35mm target slide in the scanner and ran the profiling of the scanner, It didn’t take even a few momemts or any effort, it was done automatically with the software in seconds. USING LASERSOFT SILVERFAST TO RUN THE CANOSCAN 9000f All the preview scans, presented in four thumbnails on one screen were usable, and pretty good dynamic interpretations of different color negative film bases. ![]() Then I switched to scan four different color negative film images, and quickly found that quick has its limits. The result without any manual adjustment was pretty accurate. Quick and easy, but then there is little ‘interpretation’ between different media involved scanning a good print. My first scan was made with Canon’s ScanGear software, a scan of a letter-sized portrait print. I also contacted Lasersoft and obtained their new version of SilverFast for the Canoscan 9000f in the most complete Ai6 version. It connects with your computer via a USB specified as the fastest available your PC’s support. The 9000f scans in 48-bits and also will output 48-bit files. Like the most contemporary scanners, the Canon Canoscan 9000F uses white LED’s for scan illumination. Film scanning is supported by an infrared FARE 3 sensing of dust, dirt and scratch for automatic software cleaning. This new 9000f model Canon flatbed photo scanner is not essentially different from their 8800f model, it looks a little sleeker and has higher resolution and scans 8.5x11 inch reflective documents and prints (at 4800dpi), together with both 35mm and 120 photographic film (at 9600dpi). But how well do you use it and what quality of scans does it reproduce from 35mm film? Of course from my mail I knew many readers would be interested, but I didn’t get an assignment to do a user report. ![]() For all you enthusiast photographers with film collections they wish to scan into digital files, this new Canoscan made me wonder, is it an ideal answer? It’s priced right with a long list of $249. ![]() When Canon announced a 9600 optical resolution Canon Canoscan 9000F flatbed scanner, I got on the phone and got a loaner to test and report on.
