Are you hinting at the fact that this driver might be incorrect?ģ. My pci-e card was recognised by Windows 10 and is listed in the device manager as 'VIA 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller'. I wasn't aware I had to install any legacy drivers. The movement of the motor is, in this case, smooth: no steps are heard.Ģ. This produces poststamp size previews of all frames and it does take very little time, suggesting the hardware is actually able to do a quick preview pass. However, it appears Silverfast has another function that does a thumbnail scan of all the frames in the strip. The time need to complete a prescan of a 6x8 frame (16bit grayscale) is 1 minute 20seconds. Silverfast seems to call a preview a 'prescan'. I installed the demo version of Silverfast. I'm going through your suggestions one by one. I'd definitely download Silverfast demo to see if Vuescan is in fact the culprit.Īlthough I don't think that firewire drivers are your problem but you did install the legacy firewire win10 drivers, right? If preview sounds as "smooth" as 4000dpi then that would suggest the scanner is actually previewing at much higher stepper motor resolution than 667dpi. As stepper motor needs to make bigger steps during low resolution scans or previews those tend to be noisier (choppier?). I would still suggest _listening_ to the preview sequence and see what you can deduce from that. Selecting something very low should for the scanner to scan at it lowest native resolution. If you select one that is not native the scanner (or scanner software) will request a scan at the next native resolution and then downsample to the user selected resolution. Scanners normally have a few "native" resolutions. How are scan times (not preview times!) at lower resolutions compared to 4000dpi? Also worth trying is selecting a custom resolution. That being said, I don't remember any Vuescan problems or oddities with CS8000. I've had a number of scanners that work quite differently with Vuescan compared to original software (Microtek 120tf and Canon fs400us come to mind). Wondering if I should try installing Nikon's own drivers or Silverfast. full res 4000dpi scan of above frame: 2 minutes 50 seconds.Īre the above ballpark figures what people are experiencing with their Coolscan 8000? Else, might I have a problem? Might it be the scanner - or how about Vuescan itself? Are perhaps its Nikon drivers poorly optimised for the device, as compared to its Minolta and Epson scanner, for instance? low res 667dpi preview of 6x7 frame: 1 minute 25 seconds If I try that, for a 6x7 frame the times are as follows The lowest resolution available for a preview in Vuescan is 667dpi. Now back to my question: it would appear, using the latest Vuescan version on Win10, that generating a low resolution preview of a 120 frame using the Coolscan 8000 takes ages. Something in the region of 5 seconds for a 35mm frame using my dedicated film scanners something in the region of 15 seconds for 3 6圆 frames using my Epson flatbed. The above workflow worked well because with both my old scanners a low resolution preview took literally seconds. scan the chosen candidates at the desired final resolution Importantly, decide whether to scan or skip the image for an actual full res scan adjust cropping and focus on the previewed image. insert film holder and launch a batch 'preview' within Vuescan where I'll have set the lowest available resolution to minimise preview scanning time and get an overview of the whole 6 frame (35mm) or 3 frame (120) strip So far, my workflow could be summarised as follows: I should start by saying I am very familiar with Vuescan - I have been using it for the past 10 years or so to drive an Epson flatbed as well as a number of dedicated 35mm film scanners (Minolta, Plustek.). I just got a Coolscan 8000 and have a question for those using their 8000 with Vuescan.

The Sun has neither of these (the centrifugal acceleration at the equator is only about 20 millionths of the surface gravity, and Jupiter is too small and far away to have an effect) and simply relaxes to an almost spherically symmetric configuration. Possible sources of asymmetry in stars could include rapid rotation or the presence of a binary companion, both of which break the symmetry of the effective gravitational potential, even if the star were spherically symmetric. The resultant pressure gradient would trigger fluid flows that would erase the asymmetry. Any departure from symmetry would imply a difference in pressure in regions at a similar radius but different polar or azimuthal angles. The Sun has had plenty of time to reach an equilibrium between its self gravity and its internal pressure gradient. The symmetry of the Sun has got very little to do with any symmetry in its formation. Can anyone explain from what causes this symmetry emerged? Is it a combination of a slow rotation rate combined with a highly isotropic central gravitational field? I thought there would be an equatorial bulge, even though the rotation rate is slow.ĭoes this result, for just one ordinary, as far as I know, star indicate that asymmetrical stellar collapses are much less likely than may have been previously envisaged? Admitted, it is just one star out of countless billions, but on the other hand, as it is a random sample, it may well be indicative of many more similar "extremely" (if I can use that word) spherical objects. To me at least, it is a completely counter-intuitive result. However, Wikipedia accepts its validity:īy this measure, the Sun is a near-perfect sphere with an oblateness estimated at about 9 millionths, which means that its polar diameter differs from its equatorial diameter by only 10 kilometres (6.2 mi). I do appreciate that above result is just one measurement, and I looked for confirmation of the result. If scaled to the size of a beach ball, it would be so round that the difference between the widest and narrow diameters would be much less than the width of a human hair. Relatively recent measurements indicate that the Sun is nearly the roundest object ever measured. Employees are provided a separate privacy notice that relates to employment data.
