Vuescan with Nikon 8000ED Problem

[Mike Bergen]

I have already left a message about this issue with (e-mail address removed),
however I wonder if anyone else has seen this.
When I try to scan each image on a strip of three 6x6 negatives I can never
get a full scan of the entire #2 negative. It is always cut in half. I
have experienced this using VueScan version 7.6.69 and with 7.6.74. My
only solution so far has been to cut the strip into 2 pieces. I am using
the FH-869S holder and WinXP.

I forget what the settings are, but the idea is that the scanner scans a 6x9
area for both preview and final scan, so you have to set this 6x9 area to
three different positions, one for each 6x6 frame. I think Vuescan (perhaps
reflecting the hardware???) assumes that there are only two positions, so
one of your frames is always going to be wrong. You need to figure out how
to set the scan area manually. It's a minor pain until you figure out what
the numbers are.
