Hello all,
I just purchased an Epson V500 for the purpose of scanning old Kodak disks
(yeah, I know, don't ask).
I've put 3 disks on the scanner, done a preview, set a crop window on _one_
of the images and now I have a pretty good exposure.
What do I do if I want to scan the whole area with _those_ exposure / WB
settings ?
If I enlarge the crop window, I lose the exposure (because of the black
center and white border). Using [Input][Lock Exposure] doesn't cut it.

How can I completely 'fix' the parameters while doing a whole window scan
?!?

Well, even fiddling with the [Lock exposure], [Lock film base], [Lock image
color], I still get color changes when I change the crop window.


But I have a bigger issue: above a certain image size, VueScan arbitrarily
resizes the file.
Example: a 2000x3000 pixels scans (as indicated at the bottom right after a
scan) gets me a file of the proper size.
A 2000x8000 pixel scans results in a 1000x4000 tif file.
A 2000x16000 pixel scan results in a 500x4000 tif file, all other parameters
being equal.

The memory available in [Prefs][Image memory] is 2Gb, which should cover it
nicely.
Obviously the [Output][Tif size reduction] is set to 1.
What the heck is going on ?!?

Suggest going to the VueScan website and ask the author

Yup, Ed confirmed that the iscan Epson driver he's relying on has some
memory limitation. Damn. I have to waste my time with a virtualized
version...
