iSRD and Kodachrome

[Beat]

From scanning a few slides, I get the impression that automatic iSRD (with a Digitdia 4000) fails with Kodachrome. Can you comment on this? Is there a fix? I'm batch-digitizing my slide archive so I don't want use the manual mode.

Cheers, Beat

Dear Beat

infrared scanning automatic image correction has its limitations, too.
B/W and certain b/w-based film materials don't go well with infrared scanning because of the way they refract the IR light.
This isn't specific to SilverFast iSRD, but can also be experienced with ASF/Kodak Eastman's ICE: <a href="http://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/nikoneurope_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2121&p_created=1054125000&p_sid=loD_sIPh&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MyZwX3Byb2RzPTAmcF9jYXRzPTAmcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ubCZwX3BhZ2U9MSZwX3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PWtvZGFjaHJvbWU*&p_li=&p_topview=1">Using Digital ICE with black and white or Kodachrome film.</a>
