Dear Attis.

In some very seldom cases the Reflections of the film emulsion can cause irritating results. Can you post a small example of the areas and results you are talking about?
For now I recommend to switch off all automatic image optimizations because the default parameters will lead to unwanted results.

Kind regards.

Dear Attis.

Frankly there is no profile or curve settings I can provide that will give you great results with all your scala scans. Do it the manual way and use the powerful editing tools that SilverFast has to offer.
Please check our online reviews and tutorials --> https://www.silverfast.com/show/sf-onlin ... ws/en.html

Kind regards.
