Agfa Arcus 1200 (scsi), PC/Windows ME, Agfa Fotolook 3.6 (the latest driver for the scanner). I've also tried Vuescan which does support my scanner. > Speaking generally, negative film has an orange cast, which has to be > dealt with by the software in the process of inverting the negative to a > positive image, so there are clearly some additional issues to deal with. Yes I'm aware of this. What I am curious about is whether its possible to just register the film base colour with the scanner driver (which mine does), then just scan away with no need to ever adjust colour for that type of film. I hate adjusting colour. Its not always possible to do it by the numbers and correcting by eye is imprecise and inconsistent. Fotolook has an annoying bug which bases some inaccessible settings on the results of the previous "automatic" setting. I had trouble getting good results from Vuescan when setting everything to neutral... I will play around a bit more with that package. Apart from my recent playing, I only have experience with scanning slides and prints which are very easy to deal with once you get the hardware colour profiles set up.
