Scan's seem to be in ir or inverse colours?

Postby john10001 » Sun Oct 30, 2011 7:32 am

Hello.

I have just setup my scanner and software on my new Windows 7 system. When I scan some 35mm colour negatives in Silverfast SE the resulting scans seem to be in inverse colours or in the IR plane only. What am I doing wrong?

The settings I have selected in Silverfast are:

Scan Type: 48 Bit HDR Colour
Resolution: 2400dpi
iSRD Dust Removal: ON (default settings)
Film Type & Exposure: Kodak Gold Max 400
CCR: Checked
Auto: Checked
Gamma for HDR output: 2.2
ICC Profile: Adobe RGB (default)
HiRePP: Checked (default, not sure what this is?)
Scanner (Transparency): CanoScan 8800F Negative

When I scan in the Canon software it scans the negatives reasonably well and gives prints more or less how they should look but I think that the dust removal feature is not so great and that is why I wanted to try the Silverfast iSRD because I believe this is still hardware dust removal and results may be a little better? At the moment though it is just giving me what looks like to be in the I.R. plane or inverse colours. Is there some setting I have incorrect that is causing this?

Thanks for any help and advice on this,

John

Hi there

Scanning in HDR mode will produce unmodified raw files, it means without changes. If you want to have the actual effects at the resulting picture you should choose a scanning mode other than HDR.
