Review: The one you need if you want to use Vuescan on Linux. - Only gave it 4 stars because I wish it were a bit faster but at this price, not gonna happen. I can wish. This was the last model that ran with VueScan on Linux. I have only used Vuescan so far. It takes a while to get used to how this thing behaves. I tested it with Vlad's targets, both a filmstrip and a slide. It eeks out approximately 30 megapixels worth of resolution, so I set the DPI at 4800. The Commercial Noritsu scanner offers approximately 30 megapixels and is very fast and of high quality. However, you'd be hard-pressed to find a used one for under $ 15,000, and you would need training or navigate a significant learning curve. Of course, there is a learning curve with the PrimeFilm XAS as well. One of the interesting factors about this scanner is that the light source is positioned underneath, and the three-line RGB scanning head is positioned above the film. As a result, the emulsion should be facing upward. In Vuescan, I had to tick the 'mirror' checkbox to prevent the image from being reversed. With Vlad's resolution target, I was surprised at how well it worked with the emulsion side down, but note that those targets have a clear base, not an orange one. Here is a scan of a negative short with Royal Gold 400 in July 1994 of an ATK 605. In viewscan I set autolevels and the restore faded setting in VueScan. It works amazingly in spite of my storing negatives rolled up and often not stored on a cool enough environment for longevity.
Review: Este equipo hace lo requerido para realizar digitalizaciones de alta calidad desatendidas, muy buen sistema de autofoco y excelente integración con silverfast.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Im having a lot of trouble with the focus on the scanner. Can't seem to find a fix, how do I fix this?**
A: You haven't mentioned what kind of trouble, and what software you're using. I use VueScan, and with it I can pick a different focus point in the image, and that may help with focusing.  Film can curve, and to focus, the scanner's focus mechanism needs to find some fine contrast in the image, and the combination of those two factors can make it require some experimentation with some images to figure out where to put the focus point to get optimal focus.

**Q: Primefilm xas - does this do batch strips. 1st q&a is confusing on that point. also, does this come with silverfish? if so, what version?**
A: Yes, It does batch strips well and comes with Silver Fast 8 you can also download the latest version at the Lasersoft web site.

**Q: Do i have to upgrade from siverfast se to silverfast ai ($300) in order to batch scan a strip of film or use the multiexposure features?**
A: You don’t need to upgrade the software

**Q: Does this product batch-scan slides or just negatives?**
A: Just the negative. Powerslide X does slides batch scanning.
