Silverfast SE v6.6.0r2 does not scan negatives correctly.

I am using the lastest Silverfast SE (recently updated from the web), which was included in the package of Epson V700 Photo scanner.
After prescan with the color negative film, I clicked to the right of "Pos/Neg:" under the General tab and selected "Negative". Then, [NegaFix] window pops up. I selected Kodak, <Other>, Ultra Color100. As soon as I close the [NegaFix] window, "Pos/Neg:" is quickly changed back to "Positive". It never shows as "negative" with other film types listed. The image also remains as negative and if I scan, the result is color negative. So, I had to use Photoshop to invert the color. With earlier version (v6.5) that came with the scanner, I could scan the color negative. Can I scan the color negatives with this updated version?

Dear ikang,

you need to leave the NegaFix windows opened for the NegaFix conversion to be applied.
If closed SilverFast is set back to positive mode that is correct.

kind regards

Dear Arne,

Thanks for the tip.
It just works fine when the Negafix window is kept open.
