I use the Nikon LS4000 with SF 5.5.2r10, Win2k, Photoshop 7.0, Monitor calibrated with Monaco EZColor 2.2.
After making the adjustments in SF preview and then making the RGB scan into Photoshop I can always see some slight difference between the two. The final scan brought into Photoshop is slightly darker. I have to make some curve adjustment and bring the middle RGB value of 128 to about 143 to get the same as in SF-preview. Also some very slight higher saturation occurs in the final scan even after the gamma correction in Photoshop.
So I checked the CMS settings in SF. This is what I got:
Scanner-Internal: Calibration (with IT8 module)
Internal-Monitor: Automatic
Internal-Output: RGB

Scanner(Transparency): None
Internal: Adobe RGB (1998)
Output/Printer: None
Rendering Intent: Perceptual

Embedded ICC Profile: checked
Profiler to embed: Adobe RGB (1998)

Plug&Play CMYK: grey

In General: Gamma gradation: 2.2
Colour Model: RGB

Color Settings in Photoshop:
Working Space: RGB: Adobe RGB
Color Management Policies: RGB: Preserve embedded Profiles

Engine: Adobe (ACE)
Intent: Perceptual

So I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...

After some testing I came to the conclusion that enabeling ICE causes the slight red shift and the blocking of the shadows. Maybe something to look at for the folks at Lasersoft?
btw Silverfast is very outstanding piece of software and surely worth the money. You people at Lasersoft surely did a good job to improve the software the last couple of months. But still obviously there are still some improvements to make...

Keep working on it!
