Exposure correction

[robinchee]

With a Nikon Coolscan 4000, which is a better technique to use to correct exposure:

- Just scan it straight and correct in Photoshop
- Correct during scanning using curves
- Correct during scanning using analog gain
- Use SF AI auto optimize

I would suggest a combination of Analog Gain (it is available in SilverFast Miscellaneous tab) long with whatever Silverfast tools seem most appropriate. Try Auto Adjust and fine-tune from there.

BTW: much more than 1 to 2 units of Analog Gain and you would blow highlights so experiment.
