Cezanne Colorgenius software
Hi,
In my never ending search for a high end scanner I've come across a screen cezanne elite for a reasonable price. I'm waiting for the seller to confirm the version of colorgeniusEX software. In the meantime, does anyone know the following:
1. Do all versions of colorgeniusEX allow 16bit saves?
2. Is there a dongle for the software?
Thanks
Tim

Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Kinda and no, respectively. I have version 1.4 or such. You can save 16 bit per channel color, but it limits you to 8-bit bw. To get around this, I simply scan bw as a 16 bit per channel color positive and choose the best channel in Photoshop.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Thanks Peter.
Out of interest, if any of the Cezanne scanner owners out there had their scanners crated before delivery, do you remember roughly what size crate was used? Also, is removing the tail section of the scanner for shipping easy to do?
Thanks
Tim

Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Hi Tim, I can offer a little advice, I bought a used Cezanne a fortnight ago, here in the UK.
The tail section comes off really easily, open the front panel and undo one thumbscrew (all the way out) then slide the tail towards you and up. The machine wont run without it installed, in case you think you could save space. I moved it with a friend, making sure BOTH locking plates are present and correct, and the little rubber piece that stops the scan bed from moving. Mine was missing so I made one from an old mouse-mat. It has 4 "useful" handles that pull out of the bottom of the scanner. Note that with the weight of the scanner, these handles will feel like they are about to cut your fingers off at any moment!
I'm running version 2.? on OSX and am pretty sure 16-bit is offered across the board (don't quote me on that though). The software is unlocked with a serial number (on the CD case) - no dongle needed.
if anyone would care to enlighten me on their workflow for this scanner I would be really interested. I'm after the highest quality scans, negs and trannies - regardless of the time it will take.
hope that helps a bit

Where is the second locking plate? Attached is a file I was sent by a screen tech.
I think this is the one that locks the optical unit. Do you only need to orientate this bracket correctly, or do you need to actually tell the scanner (through software or menu) to return the optical unit to the correct location for shipping? I'd assume that the optical unit just goes to the location where it can be locked when you switch the scanner off.

I just got a message from the seller which included a diagram of the shipping plates you mentioned - it seems that the Elite does have 2 plates (the attached shot was from the orginal Cezanne (non elite) manual - must have only had one plate before the elite came out)
Tim
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Yep, only one plate on my Cezanne (non-elite).
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
oops! sorry if I misled anyone... I made the schoolboy error of assuming things would be identical....
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Thanks for the replies so far. The seller says the version of software they have is 'ColorGenius EX for FT-S5500 Version 2.0.1 Client/Server package' At first I thought this was fine - but know I'm wondering about the 'client/server' bit. I noticed that the ColorgeniusEX server is listed as an optional extra in the Elite brochure (where as plain colorgeniusEX is standard). Does anyone know if this client/server package will actually be the software to run the scanner or is it just software to enable the scanner to be run on more than one machine (whilst still requiring the original EX software)?
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
That is the software to run the scanner. There are two basic setups. One is to install the "server" element on a separate computer, and the other is to install both the server and scan setup program on the same computer. Both were on my ColorGenius setup disc.
If you go to the dainippon screen japan site, you will be able to download later versions of 2.x, as well as later firmware. It's a scsi scanner, and so I'm not sure exactly what version of OS 10 you'll have to use. On my version 1.x, I have to run OS 9.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Peter thanks for that. Well I have now committed to the buy and I expect that scanner will arrive in a week or so. I've organised for it to be professional crated and the seller is going to prepare it for shipping by installing the brackets in the locking position.
So now the search for a suitable Mac begins. I'd be keen to know what setup you're running (or what anyone else is running). I don't want to spend much on a Mac so I was thinking of getting a low spec G4 and running an older version of OSX (I'll first have to figure out what version of OSX I can run with the scanner/software combo).
I'll also need a SCSI card. I've seen the Adaptec 2906 mentioned here before but not sure to what version of OSX that is compatible (adaptec site mentions OSX 10.1 and OSX 10.1 server and later - not clear if the 'later' applies to only the server package).
I notice that screen recommend the Adaptec 29160N, however according to the Adaptec website this is not supported by Macs. I seem to remember something about screen supplying drivers for it to run with macs? Maybe this only works with the latest OSX version though? I don't really know anything about macs, can a G4 run the latest version of OSX?
Both the computer and SCSI combo should cost more than a couple of hundred dollars from what I can tell, but I want to make sure I get the right hardware to run the scanner!

Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Hi Tim,
I use an old g4 in os 9. (The upgrade to CG 2.x which would allow OS10 operation is $1000. Yikes!) Upgrading memory to the max really helped with speed. I'm off tomorrow, and I need to do some scanning, so I'll get some more info.
Make sure to check out: http://www.screen.co.jp/ga_dtp/en/download/
The release notes often have info as to which components/OS the update will work with.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Scanner arrived today. It's currently lampooned in it's shipping crate in the garage until I can get a couple of people over to move it!
I have had a chance to hook it up whilst still on the shipping pallet - after a couple of minutes of whirring and buzzing it gives me two green lights so that is positive. I don't have a G4 and SCSI card yet (hope to have it by the end of next week) so I can actually confirm it all works.
In the mean time, I have a couple of questions about the glass trays I got. Attached are some pictures (this might also help anyone else who's looking to buy a cezanne as I have not managed to track down any pictures on the web of what the standard accessories look like.).
My scanner came with two trays - one I think is the regular Anti Newton glass, the second I'm not sure what it is but think it might be a glass tray for line art? (it's the glass in the foam and bubble wrap). The two pieces of plastic with the handles - I assume they're retaining plates? I've also included a picture of the scanning bed cover for anyones reference.
I also have a mystery part I'll attached pictures in the next post. It wasn't attached to the scanner and I have no idea what it is or where if goes. Any ideas?
Finally, of the most concern for me is I'm not sure my scanner has got a calibration strip. I remember reading somewhere there was a white strip installed on the left hand side of the scanning bed. Has anyone got a picture of this? I have two empty slots on the left side of the bed and I think perhaps one of them should have a calibration strip in there.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Mystery part?
Incidentally - in case people are wondering the scanner did not come with a manual. I will contact screen to see if I can get one... it will depend on how expensive it will be. Last picture is of the scanning bed protective cover - just in case anyone is interested.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
In your last post (#14) The first two pictures are of the calibration strip. Be very careful with that! In your earlier post (#13), the first picture is of the standard bed. It's a 6mm thick piece of what looks like acrylic with a very fine anti-newton texture on it. The third pic looks like a hold down plate, which also should have an anti-newton texture. So you put your negative on the main tray, picture 1, and then you place the hold-down tray,picture 3, on top of the negative to hold it flat. I can't tell exactly what the 2nd and 4th pictures are of in post #13.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Peter - thanks
Picture 2 in post #13 is basically the same material as picture 3, only the one in 2 is big enough for the entire bed whereas the one in 3 is only about a 1/3 of the bed. Picture 4 is the same size as the standard bed - but it looks more like clear glass than the anti newton stuff. I think it's probably the line art glass tray that was an optional accessory - not much use to me.
Does the manual mention anyway to clean the calibration strip? It has quite a few marks/scuffs on it - I can't imagine it will provide an accurate calibration. I might contact screen and see if there are replacement white strips available. I'd assume that just the white stripe can be replaced rather than the whole metal unit needing to be replaced.
Tim
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Hi Tim, I'll look tonight in the manual, but my guess is that it would be best to buy a new one. Make sure that you're sitting down when you ask the prices. I wanted to replace my standard bed. $1200. Software upgrade from Version 1 to 2. $1000. Well, you get the idea.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Hi Tim, I dug out my Cezanne instruction manual for you. The white reference strip is errr... seemingly for errr... white reference? Being more serious, I wonder if it's so important to have it squeaky clean, if scanning transparencies?
Anyway, it reads:
"Never touch the white film surface for it is very delicate and easy to make dirty. If the white film becomes dirty, then the output quality will be adversely affected."
Sadly there's nothing about cleaning it! If you are considering a new one, I would almost certainly giving cleaning a go. Maybe you'll get lucky and save yourself a packet.
Knowing how these scanner manufacturers love to rip off their captive customers for spares, I'm sure you'll only be able to buy a complete white strip assembly.
Sorry I can't be more help.

Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Update -
G4 and SCSI have arrived. Scanner up and running! Initial scans look really good, but unfortunately I'm getting a low lamp intensity warning. Guess I'll need to put down a couple of hundred for a new lamp (at least there's only one in the elite!). Still, at least with a brand new lamp I'll know I'm getting the most out of the scanner.
Looks like I'll need to make some masks for my film. On some trans I'm getting a bit of flare - always at the edge of the film and most notable when the areas at the edges are dark shadows. Peter, I seem to remember you wet mount - does this prevent this sort of flare?
I've found the colorgenius software OK to use, but I wish it gave you a histogram and an easy way to set end points. I'm a bit confused about the how the HD and SD work in the manual fine adjustment tab. Setting 0.00 seems logical for HD, but for SD it will allow a maximum value of 6.94 (I would've thought 4ish would be the max?) What I'm also confused about is how the RGB values in the next column relate to these settings. If I understand correctly, the scanner will take whatever it sees in the density range and then compress that info into the values specified in the RGB columns (which by default seems to be be around 24,24,24 and 240,240,240) I've been resetting these to 0,0,0 and 255,255,255 - I'm not sure if there is any benefit to doing this. If I want to get a 'Raw' scan, and suggestions what value should I set? I know you guys have discussed this a bit - did you draw any conclusions?
I've done one quick scan of a color neg - I notice that you lose all control of HD and SD in this mode? Still the scan came out pretty good with minimal fuss.
Finally, I've done some experiments in scanning 4x5 in two passes at 3200 and combining in photoshop using photomerge. Asides from the added time of scanning and photoshop processing, it was easy and the resulting file is big enough for a 40x50 print and probably has close to all of the useable info you're going to get from the film.
I'm waiting to see how much SDK will charge for shipping some wet mounting supplies to New Zealand (Aztek wont ship here, and I've had great trouble finding anyone who distributes these kind of supplies here) I'd like to experiment with wet mounting to see what difference it makes (if any on a flatbed)
Tim
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Hi Tim,
No, wet-mounting doesn't get rid of the flare. Masks are a good idea.
When I built my icc files using Wolf Faust's targets, I set my HD density at 0, the SD density at 4, and the next two value at 0 and 255. The latter values are for prepress work where you don't want values below, say, 15, or above 245. All they do is compress the output range.
With grayscale scanning, which I do as a positive as CG1.x only allows 8-bit grayscale scans, I've been experimenting with a Stouffer step wedge and changing the SD level such that the scan endpoints are closer to the information endpoints on the negative. I should have some time this week to revisit this, and I'll post my results.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Thanks Peter. When you wet mount, how do you use masks? Do you go glass, (mounting fluid), negative, (mounting fluid), overlay and then tape a mask on top of the overlay? Or do you place the mask in the sandwich between the glass and the overlay - I would think that would make using fluid more difficult
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Hi Tim,
The first way.
I built a custom scanning bed, mainly because my original scanning bed is fairly marked up. My custom bed has a smaller scanning area than the regular bed, consisting of a piece of optical glass in the center of a well-sealed MDF holder. Originally, I designed it so that I would mount the negative underneath the glass, such that only the scanning mylar would be between the emulsion and the lens, but testing showed that there was no discernible difference with mounting on top of the glass, which is easier.
With this scanner, though, I don't see all that much difference wet-mounting, just as Sandy King doesn't see much difference with his Creo Eversmart scanner. I have to do it, though, or I'll get Newton's rings on the optical glass. If the anti-newton surface of the standard scanning tray of your scanner is clean enough, I'd make some pretty careful tests to make sure that wet-scanning is beneficial.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Tim,
I also have an old Cezanne and I opted to adapt a large piece (don't remember the size) of 2mm AN glass in place of the original one. As a side benefit, flare is reduced somewhat.
But I'm still struggling with software issues and the lack of 16bit files for B&W work.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
To get 16 bit files with Colorgenius 1.x, scan the image as a 16-bit per channel positive. In Photoshop, invert the file and pick the best channel. Usually, it'll be the green channel. Discard the other channels.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Cesar, what are you replacing with the 2mm AN glass, the standard scanning bed, i.e. what the negative is laid down one, or the AN cover sheet, which goes over the top of the negative? The standard bed is a 6mm thick piece of what looks like acrylic with a very, very fine texture. Finer, in my experience, than anti-Newton glass sold for enlargers.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Peter, I did replace the scanning bed because it was in such a bad shape and it would be near impossible to get a new one here in Brazil. Not at an affordable price, I mean. I know it isn't the best solution, but it came from the some source where I ordered Nikon 9000 scanner's glasses, so if it works this way, why not the other.
My software version won't allow me to save 16bit files on either way, although it says the processing is done on high bit level, so it's feasible to work around adding two or more scans targeting shadows or highlights, but... life should be easier, shouldn't it?
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Cesar, what version of Colorgenius are you using?
Regarding the AN glass, if it works, use it! I replaced my scanner bed with optical glass, but as a result I have to wet mount to avoid Newton's rings.
Regarding the scanner bed, I don't think it's affordable anyplace. Screen USA wants $1200.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Peter, I can't say right now wich version I've installed, but I'm sure it's pretty old and just run on OS9 or older machines.
Now I'm working on an expositin which opens next week and haven't much time to think about it, but soon I hope to find some help from people who works on bureaus or graphic industry. And I know there's plenty of scanners being sold even here where I live. So, it's just a matter of time. I hope!
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Hi Cesar,
I'm using ColorGenius 1.4. If you have version one, like me, you can download the updates to 1.4 . I have to run mine on an old G4 with OS9, and I'm able to do 16-bit per channel saves in color. Hopefully there's just a buried setting that you need to change.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Hi Peter,
Today, after a long time, I've been scanning some b&w negatives and just then I did remember that my software actually is the Colorscope, version 1.2.3., wich I know nothing about.
I checked Screen Usa download page but couldn't find anything useful and I suppose finding a copy of Colorgenius could make my life easier. I'll look for that later, when I have some free time to spare.
Anyway, thanks for your attention.

Haven't got it up and running because it needs to be carried upstairs first—which includes the rather heavy Barco monitor!
But I did notice they omitted the disk for CG. It's on the computer, and I've got all the heavy manuals and the box for Colorgenius, just not the disk (and the license number). Nothing dodgy, it's a machine that was serviced and has been well maintained. Guess they lost that disk. Hope the license no. is visible on OS9.
The current version seems to be something else, though. At http://www.screenusa.com/products.cfm/colorgenius_dc I do not read about scanning at all.

I wonder whether 1.0.4 would run under Sheepshaver, the emulation of OS9 under OSX. Are there any users who tried this?
I will be in touch with Screen Europe this week to enquire about an upgrade, but I'm not having my hopes too high.
One question: I did not receive any masks for 645 film. Did any exist for the Screen Cezanne?
Why use masks btw? What about putting the film strips up there without any mask? (Yes, I admit I'm a novice :cool: .)
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Using masks cuts off stray light from getting in the lens/sensor area. Stray light can cause a loss of contrast, just like in a camera. It can also cause blooming along the edges of the image. In my experience, it's important with a Cezanne to mask the negative well. Anything opaque will work.
Sorry, I don't know about the Mac OS questions.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Thanks, I'll make those masks! And I'll try the alternative software set-up, if only to guarantee life beyond the G4 and free up space from my overcrowded study (the Barco monitor is about as heavy as the Cezanne, and this 1998 monitor is bulky too!). I do need to find out whether the Apple Cinema Display (23") is accurate enough, but I expect it is.
There were some settings in the software for different films, though none matchng my films. I tried a few, and the results were hugely different. Are there any standard setings for certain films, like Portra 160VC, Velvia 100F Pro, XP2, Across 100, Pan 100? Even if in certain situations one would like to adapt the settings, that is easier when starting from a standard profile. Are such settings known, or can we exchange data?
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Well, with slides my preferred way is to make an icc file with a reference slide. You then use the same settings for all pictures you take on that film. Some difficulties with this is that making a good icc profile is non-trivial. It's very easy, for instance, to lose some shadow detail. I rarely scan slides, and I lost the profiles I had made to a computer crash about a year ago. Thus, I don't have an profiles available at the moment, and I don't plan on making any new ones until this fall. When I do, I'd be happy to make them available. Someone else might have some on hand, though.
With C41, there have been some threads on this forum as to various ways to do that. You might give them a read. (I'd probably go with photographing a MacBeth color checker chart, with a special hood around the black square, on the film in question. You could then make a pseudo icc profile, or you could make adjustments either in Color Genius or in PS.)
I have suggested settings for scanning bw film on my blog. If you want a higher contrast scan, you might experiment with something like a Stouffer step wedge.

Peter, I wonder if your lenses are dirty, I don't see much flare/blooming on my Cezanne.
File looks pretty much the same if I mask or not.
I have adjusted my film development so I rarely need to exceed D2.5 to 2.8 with my negatives (B&W).
I don't know if it makes a difference, but I do mask small formats ie. 35mm and 6x7.
Larger formats, primarily 8x10, I do not. I'm scanning small film at 4000 dpi or greater.
Larger formats, never above 2000 dpi.

Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Hi Bob,
That's possible. I haven't opened it up to take a look. Given the good instructions posted earlier on how to do so, I'll have to check it out before I get back to scanning.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
I've had a go at more scanning now, and blimey, I scanned some 35mm film which I had previously scanned with the 4490. The difference is beyond words. The 4490 scans were just about acceptable at my screen (but really not), whereas the Cezanne's can be enlarged and enlarged and still give more detail. Much better in shades too.
All very predictable, obviously, but still a thing to marvel at.
As said, I do not have the full manual, so I need to find out many things by trial and error. Such as the relation between resolution and magnification.
I understand Screen also had their own version of ICE called Dusta La Vista. No mention here at the forum though. When I call them—received a new contact address—I'll ask about it.
Had no chance to test the OS9 alternative because I cannot locate my old installation disks (I should have everything between 7.6.1 and 10.6 but Sheepshaver requires 9.0 as the maximum, and of course I can only find 9.2).
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Ice really only works well when it's hardware supported. In other words, the scanner has to support an infrared channel. Slides are transparent to IR but dust is not. (The silver grains in a BW negative do block IR to some extent, and that's why hardware ICE doesn't work well with them.) I don't believe that the Cezanne supports an IR channel, and hence I don't have high hopes for Dusta La Vista, but I'd love to be wrong.
I recommend leaving magnification at 100%. When you do that the resolution you get will be the number you enter in the "Reso:" box.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Perhaps the ICE only works with the Elite?
In passing, I found interesting comments on the Cezanne's built-in corrections, which apparently make any reversal film scan problematic. Because some artificial intelligence (what AI stands for, I assume) kicks in. Here's a reference to a maillist addressing the issue:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/colo.../msg00237.html
It recommends masking reversal film in particular. I personally find it hard to keep several negatives straight on the bed with the masks provided.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
What this post calls AI is the scanners "auto" exposure setting, all scanning software have this feature. What he is saying to do is optimize the first slide and use this settings for an entire roll/batch. Note the poster is working in 35mm.
This is a big scanner with lots of light bouncing potentially around. I would concur in masking smaller formats scanned at high dpi's.
A sheet of 8x10 B&W does not seem to be as susceptible.
Use small bits of "blue" 3M tape (for antiques I believe is the designation) to stabilite the film from sliding around.
bob

Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
I found this description for the blue tape, maybe this helps.
3M Low Tack Artist Tape

Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Thanks, I'll resource that. It's a simple but very good idea.
I had a power interruption yesterday, which lasted long enough to close down both computers, including the one which ran the Cezanne. Since then, ColorGenius Server refuses to start up, because the "scanner is in use by another application".
1. I detached the SCSCI-cable and restarted the Mac, then shut it down, reattached the cable, but that did not help.
2. Trashing the preferences for ColorGenius Server did not work either.
3. Starting the Maintainer gave the error that the scanner is busy.
I now have a PDF of the manual for ColorGenius, but this problem is not covered. I suspect it is Mac-related, but my OS9 experience is too limited. Any suggestions?
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
I have a big gap in my Mac education too. I left Mac in 97 (OS7??) and returned with the intel mac in 07 (OSX).
I am challenged also.
Luckly mine came set up properly and has not missed a beat.
You are starting CG server first and then (and only then) CG app??
Multiple copies of CG competing, or CG in startup list are my first thoughts.
Sorry,
bob
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried rebuilding the desktop, no help. But it works again after the following:
1. I put FT-Maintainer in the start-up items
2. The Mac crashed when I was copying software from it.
Not sure whether 1) is the answer, or that the crash 2) cleared its memory, so I will be searching for an answer in case it happens again. Meanwhile, glad that it works. Do you have the installation disks? I only have a license, which is inconvenient if I ever have to reinstall the software.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
You might want to make a clone of the hard drive. That way, if something happens to the first one, you simply remove it, and replace it with the cloned drive. No software reinstall required.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
Have to find out how to do that. I once tried with OSX and failed! But you are absolutely right.
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
I finally managed to share my Cinema HD Display between a Powermac G4 and a MacPro, so that I can run the scanner from the same screen as my usual computer. Before that I had an unwieldy 1998 Barco monitor.
Having scanned transparencies, I've now tried my hand at B&W. I remember Peter's recommendation to scan in 16bits color, which I did, and then select the green channel in Photoshop. But on my Powermac, Photoshop 6 only exports to, well, photoshop formats :confused: . How do I get another picture format out of this, preferably one read by Aperture or Capture1?
-
Re: Cezanne Colorgenius software
The scanner software should output a 16 bit-per-channel tiff. In photoshop, use the channel mixer to specify monochrome output using 100% green channel, and zero red and blue. Now change the mode to grayscale. You should be able to save this file as a 16 bit tiff.
