I have tried various different settings in the Canon Scangear software as well as turning everything off, nothing seems to help. Thus, in case of scanning film material, the Canon CanoScan 9000F provides some extremely. But from these 32 million pixels only 4 million is actually real information contained in the scan the remaining pixels are double and multiple. I am wondering if the scanner is defective, or if this what I should expect for a sub $200 scanner? Would I see better results from the Epson? I have gotten some good frames from the Canon software, but overall the results are so varied, that it will not work for me when it comes time to archive my entire negative collection, as I’m not willing to process thousands of individual images. The scan of a 35-mm negative or a 35-mm slide with 4800 ppi provides an image file with 32 megapixels. (These are the only two types of film I have tried so far.) I downloaded VueScan and the results are better, but I still notice the problem.

I seem to get severe blotchiness on my Kodak Ektar 100 film scans, and severe digital noise on older Fuji 400 scans. Unfortunately, I am disappointed with the results I am getting. I did a lot of comparing between the Epson v600 and Canon and didn’t see much of a difference, so I decided to buy the Canon since it was on sale. The CanoScan 9000F scanner is sitting there, still encased in the original protective plastic films.Ĭontacting Canon this week, I was unable to get any answer to my questions:ġ.) Is this scanner's distributed software compatible with my current Mac's OS X version 10.11.6 (El Capitan)?Ģ.) Does the Canon CanoScan 9000F newer Mark II scanner software work with the earlier 9000F?ģ.) Are the four Canon software drivers built into the El Capitan OS sufficient to operate the scanner, on their own?Ĥ.) All else failing, is there an affordable third party software package you would recommend, so that I no longer possess a "boat anchor" scanner.Hi, I recently purchased a Canon 9000F Mark II primarily to archive my old 35mm negatives and also to scan film that I am currently shooting. and I promptly put in a safe place, and never registered or installed the product.


I ordered and received a Canon CanoScan 9000F scanner several years ago.

(It appears Canon makes it difficult or impossible to get support online. If you're an expert on Canon scanners and Mac OS X versions, I would greatly value your professional advice.
