I've heard so much about Silverfast and I want to know what it could do for my UMAX Powerlook III.

Currently, I scan 6x6 negs and slides using the standard software. I'm not happy with slide color scans that I'm getting.

In the shadow areas, I get some kind of "bleeding in" of greenish hue. I'm guessing it is inherent physical flaw (refraction from the glass?).
Could getting Silverfast fix this problem?

I also do alot of B&W neg, which I scan as negative and transfering it to positive in Photoshop. With Silverfast, Do I need to do this procedure or just go strait to positive from the scan? Thanks!

danchung,

If there is a version of SilverFast for your scanner it will allow you to scan a negative into Photo Shop as a picture eliminating the additional step you mentioned.

Here is a list of the supported brands of scanners I found on this web site.
? Cruse
? Epson
? Microtek
? Minolta
? Nikon
? Pacific Image Electronics
? Polaroid
? Profoto
? Praktica
