SilverFast 8 SE Plus Scanning 35mm Negatives Outputs the Negative Not Positive
PostPosted: Sat May 07, 2016 12:40 am
Hi All,
This is probably user error, but I feel that I am following the right steps from the videos I have watched. I have an Epson v850 Pro and SilverFast 8 SE Plus. When I use Epson Scan my 35mm film in the film holder gets scanned and the output is the positive. My problem in general with Epson Scan is that the images end up looking soft and I have seen comments that SilverFast looks much better.
When I click Prescan in SilverFast, the holder scans correctly and I see the strips now rendered as positives. They look good! I choose the NegaFix for Fuji, Superia, 400 ISO and then click Batch Scan. I get a scan of the negative with the orange mask. I can obviously correct in PhotoShop, but every tutorial shows a positive coming back.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
