prescan looks good, scan in positive/neg inverted

[brent]

I just purchased a plustek 7600i, silverfast 8.0.1r19 which I'm using with a MacBook Pro running 10.8.

I'm having a strange problem. I scanned a Kodak B&W Tri-X negative. Everything worked perfect.

I went to scan the next image, and the prescan looked fine. When I hit the "Scan" button, the resulting image looked positive/negative inverted... that is to say it looks like a negative that was scanned as a positive.

iSRD is off. I've looked everywhere in the settings to see if I can find the setting to put this back in proper order. I have NegaFix set with the proper Kodak/Tri-X/400 settings (but if I use another black and white film profile, I have the same problem). If I switch over and scan a color positive (making the requesite change from "negative" to "positive") then everything works perfect. Then I go back to my B&W negative, and I've got the same problem.

Anybody have an idea what the issue is? Thanks in advance.

Dear Brent,

Please make sure you do not have a 16/48/64bit HDR(i) output format selected.
These are raw image formats for our ArchiveSuite workflow and need to be processed in SilverFast HDR Studio.

kind regards,
Arne Ketelhohn.

Thanks for the reply, and your suggestion helped me solve the issue.

Actually, I had solved the issue on my own a few hours before and did not realize it. Even though the scanner *would* have scanned correctly, the pre-scan was still showing the same bizarre tonality. Once I actually did a scan then opened it back up, it was fine (and had been for some time), The pre-scan is broken, in that it does not show what the scan will/would look like. I consider this a bug in the software.

Dear Brent,

This is strange.
We so far had no other reports on such an issue.
We will take a look into this.

kind regards,
