Magenta tinge when scanning negative film

[Matt Hunt]

Hi

After some issues with my KM Dualscan 5400 Elite jamming and then producing scans with a yellow tinge on one side of the frame, I had it serviced and have been scanning slides with no problems.

Then I tried to scan a negative on Fuji 400ISO colour film of a sunset.

When I did the preview scan, it completed the scan and for a split second the image on the screen showed the correct colours, then everything went magenta.

Thinking it might be because the tones are all red - orange, I scanned an image of some buildings but still there is a massive magenta tinge. I then tried resetting SF to default, nothing.

I uninstalled SF, restarted the PC, reinstalled it and still the same problem.

However, slides scan perfectly well. What is happening here please?

Just curious, are you scanning in "positive " mode or "negative" mode ?

Negative mode. I wondered if I had done that too but the 'text box' says negative. :-?

What happens if you select another film type (i.e. generic at ISO 400)?

Hi RAG

In answer to your question, the exposure would change but the magenta tinge would remain.

I have uninstalled again, removed the Lasersoft folder, rebooted, downloaded 4.4.7 ( I was on 4.4.6), installed that and although the frame overview scan showed the magenta tinge, preview and main scan are all fine.

Very odd but I am back in business which is the main thing. I'd be interested in any ideas why this happened though.

regards

Matt
