LaserSoft Imaging

HI, I've spent all afternoon trying to scan some trannies and the problem is they all keep coming out soft.
I tried using the unsharp mask but it doesn't apply to the final image.
I've dumped the pref's folder etc, doesn't do a thing.
Any ideas? I'm using SF SE6.

Thanks.

Please give us some more informations about the scanner model and your OS system.

Than we can try to help you much better.

Hi Glet,
I have a Power Mac G4/400mhz, running OS X 10.2.5. My scanner is a
Umax Powerlook 2100XL (SCSI).
OK, I do an initial scan in SE, I then try to apply the Unsharp Masking and it doesn't matter what intensity I apply, there is no difference to the final image. In the Unsharp Maskings before and after preview box's there is a little bit of snow if I push the intensity up to 500, but still, the final image
comes out soft. I have tried every combination , different intensity, doing the UM after a preview, every combo I could think of. And over the weekend a friend was in town who has SF 6 and he couldn't get it to sharpen either. I have tried everything all the way to re-installing PS 7,
the SE software and your updates, nothing works.
I used Umax's Powercolor software in classic and the same images came out as sharp as a tac. But the reason I got SE is I'm sick of rebooting, obviously. I know SF is a great product, I had a Microtek scanner for a month that I had to send back because the glass was dirty and it came with SF 5.0, which I loved.
I don't know whats going on, maybe I got a dodgy disc

Dear Mark Anderson -
Just I tested the PowerLook 2100XL - on Mac 10.2.8 with SilverFast 6.1.0r5 - scsi controler Adaptec 2930 - scsi ID=3

Everything worked fine.
I couldn?t find the bug you descibed. Please download this version from our web and test it.
