I've been scanning some airshow photos and getting the right exposure out of
vuescan has been extremely difficult. The day was very overcast, and
there's a lot of photos where most of the frame is clouds with some very
small aircraft. Vuescan seems to be using an autoexposure algorithm similar

thanks, that did the trick.. use default in Vuescan and associate tif files
with photoshop in windows. Its not too slow if I have Photoshop open already,
plus I can quickly examine levels and PS will properly display 48bit tif files.

All you need to do is to type the full path name of photoshp.exe (the
program that launches Photoshop) in the Viewer filed under the Prefs tab in
VueScan. For example, if you use the default settings:
C:\Programs\Photoshop 6.0\Photoshp.exe/ You also need to put a check in the
External viewer box

Insight and Silverast is bundled. SIlverast is bundled with ALL Sprintscan

Similar to what you've tried, check the Advanced Workflow Suggestions in
the Help file to determine the fixed exposure setting for the film - maybe
that will help.
I assume you've already tried the None setting for Color balance.
Have you tried changing the Gamma and Image brightness settings?

I load the SS4k slide/film holders up and then look at them under a large

any dust stand out. When the film is clean, I keep the film holder held on

Winsor,
Silverfast is not an extra cost option on the SS120. There are two
packaging configurations on the SS120. One with just PolaColor Insight. This
is for users that find Insight is all they desire or do raw scans and use
Photoshop exclusively or image editing. This configuration also brings
No Photoshop included, LE or otherwise.
Comes with Polaroid's software and Silverfast Ai 5, SCSI Card, Cable. I
asked about Silverfast. ecost.com told me that they boxes were direct from
Polaroid; they included all OEM materials. Mine had all the goodies.
I ordered on Wed 9/12. ecost.com
Silverfast is not an extra cost option on the SS120.
Isn't it an option, as in, you can buy the scanner without it if you want?
Doesn't it cost more to buy the scanner with SilverFast than without it?
Then why isn't it an extra cost option if it costs more, and is an option?
I must be missing
Symantics, There are two bundle configurations and Silverast is not the only
difference, it also includes binuscan. We try our best to provide
configurations to please the most customers. I guess in some eyes you are
dammed if you do and dammed if you don't.
I guess I don't see anything I can add

The rebate program on the Sprintscan 4000 has been extended until the end of

Some of you have asked about the receipt. A receipt is required. I have no

For whatever it's worth, David, I for one do not have a problem with
whatever software Polaroid, Nikon, Minolta or any other company bundles or
fails to bundle with its products. I buy the product for itself, not for
the bundled software which is just window dressing as a rule.

I ended up calling eCOST at 877-888-2678, and explained that I needed
something with the actual selling price printed on it. The customer-service
rep said no problem, one would be mailed out to me in a couple of days.
There you have it, 'marketing logic' !
