Weird distortion from scanning??

Hi. I am scanning some old photos on color negative film on an epson 4990 into photoshop cs2.
I am getting these weird lines, looks like rainbow wood grain. probably from the slight bend in the negative? Wondering if there is a way to get rid of these in photoshop. I have tried color noise correction, which doesnt do too much.

jessie,
Phos has pretty much identified this. Newton rings are related to the phenomenon of rainbow colored swirls seen in a small pool of oil or in soap bubbles.
The easiest way for you to avoid newton rings is to keep the negative away from direct contact with the scanner's glass so no interference patterns form. You can use a glassless carrier. The biggest problem (particularly with large format film or with older or curled film) is getting it to lie flat so that all of it will be in focus while scanning.
Alternatively, you can mount the film between two pieces of antinewton ring glass, but be aware its texture would soften image detail.

Weird distortion in Premiere and After effects CS6 - need urgent help!

Hello,
I've got a serious problem!!! While I was editing a sportsevent I noticed that a lot of shots have some weird distortion. I allready had this problem with other projects. At first I thought it was a problem with my camera (sony EX3).
But today I started digging more into it.
I recorded some test footage and didn't import it into Premiere. Instead I tryed to play it straight from the camera with VLC media player. To my suprise the shot was perfect. Then I opend it with premiere and after effects.
I didn't change anything on the shot and the distortion came back! Then I exported it using media encoder.
I uploaded two clips: 1 rendered with Premiere, and 1 just straight out of the camera.
Even when rendered the distortion is in the shot!
Here is the shot straight out of the camera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TNfsltos_s
And here is the shot rendered in Premiere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbctDm2VhWM
I would be very happy if someone can help me out with this! I can't deliver a project to a client with this distortion!

Ask in the Premiere forum and provide at least some system info. Looks like decoding issues to me, which would boil down to hardware acceleration issues...

I cannot edit text in a PDF created from scanning

I am using Adobe XI, and I have created a PDF by scanning a document.
When I do click on a paragraph to edit text, all the page appears selected, it seems to be an image. At that moment a message pops up saying: this page has not editable text or digitalized content. The editing tools are disabled, so I cannot edit text.
If I do export a page to Excel or Word, I can edit text there, although there are some kind of data that is not converted properly (even when I have executed OCR).
I have edited preferences, but I am not sure if I did it correctly.
Thanks

I am using Acrobat XI Pro on PC.
Of course, I have done all the steps you mention, but I wanted someone to confirm me if these setting values are correct in order to obtain the best results. I repeat the paragraph of my previous discussion that I want to clarify, just in case some of you can help me, mainly about optimization
I digitalized the document from the scanner. This scanner is installed in the net, so I personalized the settings in Acrobat and I chose memory mode instead of native mode.
Mode color: black on white
Resolution: 600 ppp
As you say in your mail, I understand I should choose ClearScan OCR not searchable just at this moment.
Well, and what about the options of optimization?, JBIG2 (without lost)?, 4 CCITT?
And filters?, I have: activated, low, activated, medium
Are these values congruous or compatible?
Thank you

Create a dvd from scan photos on iMac

Is it possible to create a movie on (DVD) from scan photos? And will it be compatible to play on a PC?

You can create an automatically advancing, with some fading and sliding effects, slideshow of your scanned Photos in the app "iPhoto" on a DVD on your iMac.

Dears,
I have configured endpoint protection antimalware policy to make scanning windows servers, and I have some specific folders which I need excluded from scanning because of they are critical folders, so, when I wants to excluded the folder, how do I write
the path to add the path to excluded filed? is this correct path
C:\MyFolder or there is s special path writing?
Thanks..

If that's the folder you want to exclude then your doing fine. For more information see (List of Antimalware Policy Settings):

Optimum workflow for creating an audio-visual from scanned slides?

I'd like some suggestions as to the best workflow to adopt when generating an AV from scanned slides. I'm transferring my 3-screen audio-visuals from slide format to Blu-ray. The slides are being scanned on a Nikon Coolscan, and after editing end up as ~100 MB, 5400 x 3700, Tiff files with seven layers. These files are then archived, separate from anything I do with them in Premiere. They'll be imported into Premiere, along with the original soundtrack, and eventually output to Blu-ray disk. Then I hire the local cinema for an evening or two, let the word spread, and we reminisce and party!
I realise that pre-conditioning the images – flattening, cropping, down-sampling to a suitable size – would be a good approach, but I'd rather avoid that if possible for two reasons: (1) so that I only have one image to keep track of, instead of the original and a Premiere version; and (2) if I decide to edit colour or contrast I can do so non-destructively on the original. The latter is an important consideration. Images may be used in more than one project. If I decide to alter the look of an image (not because of the look of the image within a particular project, but because I decide the original edit was inherently flawed), it would be better to alter the original and have that change reflected in all other uses of the image, than to alter, say, two copies of the image plus the original.
A finished AV will range from 30-400 images. The longer shows will be broken into sequences of no longer than about 20-30 images. These are some of my concerns:
Cropping
The scanned images include a small amount of the slide mount. That way I know I've scanned the entire slide. So that has to go. And given that slides are 3:2 and Blu-ray is 16:9, something else has to go as well. I've been through most of the Premiere PDF but have yet to come across a cropping tool. I know how to position, scale, rotate, but how do I crop? Scaling is not a substitute because I may want certain images to not fill the screen and not show the slide mount.
Flattening
Will layered Tiff files cause difficulties in Premiere or Encore?
Resolution
Will 5400 x 3700 files (versus resampling to 1920 x 1080) have a serious impact on the time in takes for any part of the process from importing into Premiere to encoding in Encore?
Image Order
Is it better to order and renumber images using Adobe Bridge, or should I just shuffle images around in Premiere? Working with Premiere alone would have the advantage that I can import the originals (if that is an acceptable workflow).
Packaging
When a project is finished, I want to package all the assets via Project Manager and archive them. And I'd rather not archive 100MB image files. Now, this is going to be a big ask, and I'll have to jump across to InDesign to explain. When I've used scanned images in InDesign, I link to the original 100 MB files. No problems whatsoever. Come archiving time, I package in one of two ways: use an InDesign script to crop and resample the original images, and then package; or I simply export to PDF, and during the export all images are automatically cropped, resampled, and saved within the PDF in whatever format I choose. A simple and elegant archive.
Does Premiere have the ability to crop and resample the stills it uses, and either overwrite the original or save as a new file?
That question has just made me think: if I do need to crop, flatten and resample before importing into Premiere, or for archiving, maybe I should be mocking up my Premiere projects in InDesign set to a page size of 1920 x 1080. I could drag in all the images, then shuffle, crop and size them. When I'm happy with the sequence, I export as jpegs, and get the cropped, resampled images that way, ready for Premiere.
Any comments most appreciated.

Your last paragraph makes the most sense. Although a script in Photoshop would easily do what you want.
Before you resize them, make sure you don't really need to pan across them. Resizing down to around 4K or so might avoid problems.

Images from scan on flash drive. Can female- female USB adapter be used to input to ipad?

Can female- female USB adapter be used to input images from scans to ipad?

You have to use the camera connection kit adapter, which precludes the input of power at the same time. Most newer USB flash drives don't use too much power. You can also put your pics into a DCIM folder on a camera SD card and use the camera connection kit. Haven't seen any posts about an SD cards using too much power.

How do I minimize sound distortion from iTunes?

I seem to get audio distortion from time to time while playing iTunes thru an external amp and speakers.
when this happens, I shut everything down and then power up.
Suggestions?
Cheers,

If you downloaded the book from iTunes via your computer, sync your iPod, iPad, or iPhone and it should transfer there automatically. Just make sure you have checked the appropriate boxes (which books to sync etc.) before you click sync.
If you downloaded the book from iTunes via your iPod, iPad, or iPhone, then it should appear right there at the iBooks app.

Not getting full size prints from scans

Using Windows 7 and Acrobat X to scan documents on a Brother MFC 420CN. Prints from scans come out at about 80% of full size. Would prefer to have prints at full size. Is there a setting in Acrobat for this?

You can try this to see if it gives you the proper page size:
In Acrobat, choose File > Create > PDF from Scanner > Custom Scan.
Click the Options button to the right of the scanner name.
In the Scanner Options dialog, choose Show Scanner's Native Interface from the pop-up menu.
In the scanner's interface, choose the correct page size.

Weird Noises from Macbook Pro

Some Weird noises from my MacBook Pro mid to late 2014

Maybe you could describe what kind of "weird" noises you are hearing? Everybody's perception of weird is not the same, and something that you may think is weird may have a logical explanation. But we can't even begin to diagnose it without a little more to go on....

Have i bought a repaired/refurbed gtx560ti ii/oc from Scan (twice)

hi.
just recently bought a (brand new) MSI gtx560ti ii/oc from Scan which happened to have a non original static bag seal, original was evident underneath and so the card was replaced, no problem.
received replacement though this card did not have the protective film (to peel off) on its heatsink, the 1st card i bought which was returned did and so did my brothers which he bought from Pixmania (no problems at all there).
i was told by Scan that the replacement card was brand new and their manager confirmed that these cards do not come with any protective film.
i'm not sure what to make of the situation really, have i bought a brand new card or have i infact bought a repaired/refurbed card (again)?
cheers.

Benchmark it.
Check its temps.
If that's all good, forget about it.
