I'm attaching an undocumented script I use to scan film and slides
with my epson 2450 using scanimage. Here's how I used it this morning
to scan a set of 12 images while I was commuting to work.
( for x in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12; do F=$((x+3)); scanfilm --strip $x --file $(printf "f%02d.tif" $F) --format tiff --resolution 2400 --depth 16; done) > scan.log 2>&1 &
And here is a scan from a couple days ago when I had uncut slide film:
( for x in 3 4 8 9 10; do F=$((x+2)); scanfilm --strip $x --positive --file $(printf "%02d.tif" $F) --format tiff --resolution 2400 --depth 16; done) > scan.log 2>&
o The --strip uses the 35-mm strip holder and assumes negative film.
o The --slide uses the 35-mm (mounted) slide holder and assumes
positive film.
o The film type may be overridden via --positive or --negative.
o Unrecognized options are passes through as-is (e.g.,
--resolution, --depth, --format). No promises that it won't
break on somthing.
Note that I don't have anything set up for medium format film yet. I
have a roll I need to scan, so I'll probably add that in the next week
or so.
