Are there standardized settings files

Postby lmullin » Sun Aug 08, 2010 2:16 am

I bought the Epson V750-pro with Silverfast AI, with the intent of scanning in thousands of my negatives and lots of old family photos and slides. I think both the scanner and software are terrific.

But, the problem is that Silverfast offers a whole slew of options, and I'm someone who will do most of my work in Photoshop. I don't want to become a Silverfast expect. Are there generic settings recommendations (or downloadable settings files) for, for instance:

general scanning of negatives (of diverse film brands and ISOs) with intent of printing to 4x6
highest quality scanning of negatives
general scanning of photos (all sorts, b&w as well as color) with intent of printing to 4x6
high quality scanning of photos

Although I am using Silverfast a lot, I'm really not sure if I am using the best options. I think the product would be far more user friendly if the kind of info I'm asking about was available. I'm hoping it is.

Thanks.

Dear Imllin,

unfortunately there is no "best-setting-for-each-picture"-button in SilverFast. Every picture have its individual setting.
I think that a future version of SilverFast will have general settings like "scan for web", "scan for 4x6 prints", and so on.

Best regards
