Hello,

I'm new to using silverfast and are evaluating it as a tool to optimize my workflow in my wet darkroom where I do colour enlargements.

Usually I have to find the correct filter settings and exposure time for one photo of a roll (one film/paper combination) and use that settings for further enlargements.

But for many subsequent prints corrections have to be done. For the correct exposure time a lab-meter helps finding the appropriate value for each print but the eventual need for a colour correction due to different light conditions when I took the shot makes test strips necessary. For an estimation of how the colour filters on my enlarger have to be changed, silverfast might be useful.

But therefore I need to have "straight scans" without any optimization. Does anybody think this would be possible or knows a way to do that with silverfast?

Thanks in advance, Andreas

There are severals ways.
You can change the Option Gamma, to be used also in HDR, then you could scan 48bit HDR, to get unchanged results (with the Gamma).
Use the Del Key, to discard the current frame. A new one will come up. Then you could make a new Prescan. This is now unchanged, and you could use scan without changing any other parameter.
You could switch off the auto contrast in the Options.
If you don't want to remove the colorcase, you need to use the Auomatic, with the shift key pressed. You also could remove the colorcaseremover in the histogram window.

kind regards
