Select File/Save options and save these settings. Else VueScan won’t save the pictures and it won’t give you any error message.Like the Filter tab, these are defaults and you can change them for individual slides. You can set these for the individual slides in the batch, so whatever you set here are just defaults. anything higher is overkill for most film negativesĪll settings to taste or as needed.This will make it scan each cropped sub-image and save as a separate file.

Next, turn on the scanner, then start VueScan, and make the right settings: You will set this below, on the Color tab. When loading the film, read the fine print along its edge to get the vendor, brand and type. I also recommend cleaning the negatives (I use Pec Pads and Pec-12) before mounting them in the tray. Getting them lined up perfectly is tedious and requires cutting the negative strips with sharp scissors, but essential for good results. For this, I use the 35mm film negative tray and load 2 parallel strips each having 6 photos. The process should be similar with other scanners.įirst, load your media in the scanner. Here, I describe how I use this feature with VueScan 9.7 and my Epson V600. While this feature is very useful, it took me a while to figure out how it works. I use this to scan 35mm film negatives, since my scanner can load 12 frames at a time. Multi-Crop is a feature that scans several things at once on the scanner deck and saves each as a separate file. But it can be hard to figure it out the first time. Once you know how to do something, it’s efficient.

Continued from a few years ago … VueScan is a great scanning app but it has a UI that only an engineer could love.
