SciTex Eversmart Pro II, Mac G4 with OS X 10.4, oXYgen 2.3.5 - no go.

[izhkul]

Hi All,

I was given for free well used but alive Eversmart Pro II, with Scitex original oXYgen 2.3.5 CD.

Spent some time getting/setting Mac G4 with OS X 10.4 Tiger.
Good people from Yahoo ScanHi-End group helped me with required Kodak Firewire driver update 2.6 for Tiger (Kodak was not helpful).

After all these efforts I discovered oXYgen Install&Util crashes... so I cannot run oXYgen scan app.

There were a thread on this forum concerning exactly this problem:

It looks I can ask here for... hmm... help with update for the broken oXYgen soft.

Regards,
Sergei.

Why not to downgrade the OS to 10.3.9 which is proven to work well with ProII and oXYgen 2.3.5 ?

I read SciTex/Kodak docs and followed to recommendations - 10.4, Tiger.
Thanks for advice, I'll give http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Panther a try...

Yes, downgrade to 10.3.9 helped. Now I have to find calibration slide... BTW, it it possible to make a copy of such slide with contact print on a 8x10 film? Well, negative, then positive?

The calibration slide is big - nearly the size of the glass.

[SergeyT]

It is a half of the glass sized. And beside different shapes it includes special inserts for gray balancing (both ref and transp). Do not see how it can be replicated via contact printing

I have Oxygen 2.6 which works with Tiger. Interested? I also have the calibration slide, but I would only send it with sufficient insurance.

My apologies, does the Pro 2 have the type 1 slide ?

I'd be interested in oXYgen 2.6.

As for the calibration slide: thank you for the generous offer.

AFAIU you are in Germany, and I'm in USA, Boston, so it's at least inconvenient for you and I don't want you to take this burden. I found a person willing to sell me used calibration target for $150, so I'd rather go this way.

Thanks again.

Sergei.

Hello everybody. It's my first post here.

I'm a photographer based in the south-west of france. I work mainly with 4x5 and 8x10 film formats, and soon with a 11x14 setup.. I also work as a film editor.
I've found invaluable information here during the last few years that encouraged me to dig into LF photography and color film processing. So thanks to you all.

I have the same setup as Sergei: I recently bought an eversmart pro II in Germany. The scanner arrived in good shape, but the original installation CD for oxygen version 2.3.5 seems corrupted. I'm looking for a replacement for OS10.4 to be able to use the scanner.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards. Arno.
