Jim, I noticed I get "better looking" results scanning my Kodak Supra 400 with Generic Neg setting. Info posted on another thread indicates that Vuescan attempts to make all neg films "accurate" to a Kodak target, which seems to me would make all different types of neg film look alike. So, you

Jon - Thanks It's one more thing I'll try... This stuff has about *a million* degrees of freedom, and in the end, I'm still working with something that's subjective. I'm afraid I may have been a bit too lazy so far. It's not going to work though - the canned solution isn't going to satisfy

Jon I have been scanning into sRGB. I'll be using these scans on the web ultimately so I assumed that was the way to go. I also leave the scanner on all the time so the warmup thing is not an issue. I haven't looked over Margulis much yet, or had time to try any of the suggestions people on the

Thanks to everyone who replied to this! I downloaded the Margulis .pdf files suggested and will study them closely. I'm hoping that will help. I also intent to try a few of the adjustments in Vuescan that I've yet to experiment with. I'll let you all know how I fare... -- Jim

I have had no problem with the orange mask... I guess either the minolta software strips it it when making the scan (as a 16 bit linear negative scan) or PShop does it on invert... Mike M. Jim Sharp wrote: Michael I will try this and see how it works for me. Is it much of a problem getting

Well, Margulis is a can of worms, in my opinion, unless you have a CMYK workflow. One thing that might help is to set your output to sRGB in Vuescan. sRGB seems to give more saturated image than AdobeRGB when scanning with Vuescan, although I don't know why. Also make sure your scanner is warmed

Maris Agreed on the budget printers. Blown out highlights and no shadow detail. Still, even comparing my scans to good quality digital cameras like the Nikon 990 leaves me dissapointed when viewing them on screen. My scans are sharper, which is not surprising given the resolution difference,

Jim: I have a Minolta Scan Elite which I use for scanning color negs... I don't use VueScan, just the Minolta software, but the way I take my scans into PShop is the key to my success... I had the same problem with apparently flat scans as well, until I started to scan the neg directly into PShop
