Using SFAi as a stand-alone application, I prescan 35mm negatives on my Epson 4870, make adjustments and scan to tif's. Then, I open the tif's in Paint Shop Pro 9 to make final adjustments. Unfortunately the tif's look much brighter in Paint Shop Pro 9 then in SFAi. The RGB highlight components when read by SFAi's densitometer and PSP's Dropper also show a difference of about 10, confirming the difference in appearance.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any fixes to suggest?

Are you using the same ICC profile in both applications?

Is gamma being applied twice ?

To degrub: I assume you mean monitor gamma. SFAi is set for 1.8 and PSP has an RGB match-until-you-can't-see-the difference function, which seems to have absolutely no influence on how the screen displays, regardless of how extreme it is set. How would I apply twice?
_____________________________________________
To RAG: SFAi is set to RGB as a default. Here are the settings I have tried with PSP:
______________________________________________
Image, graphic or text generated by: sRGB Color Space
Enable Color Management
Basic Color Management
Monitor Profile (1. Dell 1720FP (Digital))
Printer Profile: (hp deskjet 990c series) sRGB Color Space Profile
Rendering Intent: Pictures

I have also clicked the Proofing button under Enable Color Management which, in addition to keeping the above settings opens a Emulated device profile box which I set to AdobeRGB1998

Does changing the SF Ai gamma to 2.2 or 2.8 make a difference ? If it doesn't it sounds like the video card is not accepting gamma changes.
