B&W negative filters
Apologies if this is a silly question but I am currently imaging some Black and White negative film using Silverfast 8 on my Plustek 120 scanner and I can't seem to find how to action ie. find the set of Black and White filters e.g. Red, Yellow Green and Orange. I am sure I have seen the menu for these settings previously but frustratingly I've lost them now. Can anyone help on this please.

Re: B&W negative filters
Dear customer,
Have you taken a look at the SC2G (Selective Color to Grey) Tool?
It is only shown when you select a greyscale output (e.g. 16 -> 8 Bit).
It replaces the Color Correction tools.
Kind regards,
Arne Ketelhohn.

This isn't going to make any change to the scanned image unless you are scanning a colour original for reduction to B&W. The B&W image has no information to indicate whether a particular tone was red or yellow or green or orange in the original scene, so trying to simulate the action of such a filter on the scanned image won't change the tonality.

Re: B&W negative filters
Scanners always scan in color.
The Selective Color To Grey tool defines how the color channels are being used to create a true B&W image.
