Aberrant negative scans in version 6
PostPosted: Sun Dec 15, 2002 5:23 pm
Time to generate a little action again. Can the technical people at LaserSoft tell me what is going on with Negafix when a perfectly good preview scan becomes blue and pink, or yellow and brown, in the final scan? An explanation may help in the development of strategies to prevent this.
This appears to be internal to SilverFast, rather than a mismatch with the display software that invokes SilverFast, as it is apparent in the little thumbnail preview that displays the progress of the final scan. Also, it seems to be more pronounced with negatives at the end of a strip (i.e. with the cut edge on the right). The real problem for me is that it's impossible to correct the colors in the final scan as the colors are not evenly shifted. There is some advantage to reversing the strip for the last frame so that the cut edge is on the left rather than the right but this only reduces the problem and makes it ~fixable with the image display software.
I'm using the twain version with Windows 98SE.
