My advice is to use the Minolta software only to set the gain on each channel so you get as much data as possible without blowing anything out. Everything else is done in Photoshop. In Photoshop, all I usually need to do is set black & white points and add a quick adjustment curve to control the midtones. Having said that, each 35mm slide takes me about 30 minutes to scan & process. Medium format takes longer, especially as dICE seems to let so much more dust through :( - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
