Canon FS2710 slow scans with Canocraft FS - fast with Vuescan



Have a FS2710 film scanner connected via the provided Adaptec SCSI card
under Windows XP. The unit works fine. I usually scan using Photoshop
and use the Twain interface to drive the Canocraft FS software. Scans
work fine but just to scan one negative at full 2720 dpi resolution and
24 bit color it can take up to 3 minutes before the image becomes
available in Photoshop.

Out of interest tried Vuescan. Using Vuescan at the same resolution and
color depth a single negative scans in about 45 seconds! Even taking
into account saving the scanned file and firing up Photoshop to edit
the picture, the time difference is huge.

Given that both pieces of software are using the ASPI layer to talk to
the scanner can anybody help me out with why one should be so much
faster than the other. The scanner is rated at about 45 seconds for a
scan and that presumably is using Canocraft FS software. If I use the
software directly, without going via Photoshop, there is no noticeable
speed difference - it's still very slow

Thanks

Larry
