I'm having some trouble with scanning negatives in the lastest Vuescan
releases, 6.47 and 6.4.8 running under Win98 with a Canoscan FS2710.
When using all default settings, when I preview or use a full scan, the
images come out black. If I boost the Brightness to 50, they appear to be
inverted along with a very severe cyan cast on top of the inversion. The
scans also seem to be excessively noisy or grainy. I have an example at:

Now, if I change the media type from color negative to image and reduce the
brightness to .2, I get an image that looks normal, but with very little
saturation.

Like I said, these scans were made with default settings. The color balance
is White Point. If I use other color balance settings (auto levels,
neutral, etc) I will get different color casts like yellow or green.
Chaning the film type makes a slight difference in the hue and intesity of
the casts, but no substanive difference. Same with using different color
spaces.
For reference, I reinstalled Vuescan 6.3.4 (the next most recent version of
Vuescan that I have) and scanning negatives worked without a hitch. Same
with using the Canon software to scan negatives. Slide scanning in 6.4.8
works fine as well.
Thanks for any help.
