Re: filmscanners: Adding new film profiles to VueScan

[johnprendergast.freeserve.co.uk]

I would also like the settings for Fuji NPS & NPH, however, When I use the
generic or Fuji  NHG setting for NPH, the result is pretty close.
When I have scanned Portra 400 NC, using the correct setting, the result is
very good indeed, Are you sure you  are using the right colour balance, i.e.
White Balance etc, and also, ensuring that you are cropping down to film
only, and not including the surrounding clear film, or holder.
    Have your films been correctly exposed and processed ?, I'm not picking,
just looking at every possibility.

Regards,
 John
