Hi all,
I am wondering if my Epson scanner is going bad or not. I have a PERFECTION V750 PRO running the latest version of EpsonScan and SilverFast 8.8 on a MAC PRO with OS X 10.11. I observed what I consider strange behavior while trying to scan a sheet of film larger than 5x7. Namely, EpsonScan grays out the Digital ICE option for Dust Removal when scanning film larger than 5x7 (I am scanning LF 6x7-inches, not cm, EKTAR 100 film).
SilverFast 8.8 also does not offer their version of Infrared Dust Removal, iSRD, when scanning in the Wide Transparency mode (iSRD does show up when scanning in regular Transparency mode). I have not seen anything in their respective manuals or online specifically stating that EpsonScan and SilverFast will not use Digital ICE or iSRD when scanning film larger than 5x7, so that is why I ask this question. What is your experience? Can you scan a sheet of film larger than 5x7 (8x10 or whole plate or whatever) on your Epson V700/750 using Digital ICE or iSRD? Is my scanner going bad (it is 10 years old this year)?
Namaste
Daniel
