I am using Silverfast AI V6.4.4r6(Minolta) with a Minolta 5400 DSE film scanner:

1. Despite configuring NegaFix, it does not seem to operate when using Job Manager. Prescanned and scanned negatives appear to have little or no colour correction. Currently, I am experiencing much greater success in this regard using Batch Mode. Can anyone suggest why the problem w/Job Manager is occuring?

2. Am I correct in my understanding that adjustments from a saved Frame-Set will be applied to all images in a Batch Scan?

Thanks

Dear davemon

the reason for both issues describes very likely is that actually the settings are not applied to all images / scan frames in that given job / batch.

If you like us to examine e.g. problem (1) further, please don't hesitate to contact support: http://www.silverfast.com/problemreport/en.html

Thank you in anticipation of your kind co-operation.

Concerning question (2), please note that it is very well possible to let SilverFast use different settings on the selected frames. If you now reapply settings from a saved frameset, options set for frame one can be different from frame two, if set as such.

And a further thing worth mentioning:
Using the image automatic tool will cause changes to histogramme and gradation curve. Saving settings for a frame the image automatic had been used on will, however, not save "use image automatic", but save the resulting changes instead. Copying this to other frames might thus transfer improper values.
It is better to activate the image automatic tool for batch scans by the enabling the setting > Options > Auto > Auto when ADF.
