It's seems totally related to pixel count/file size i.e all give the same results as they are the same size of course. When doing negatives there is one scan resolution that looks like the prescan, it doesn't matter what combination of dpi and scaling I use. Here is what's happening although I don't know why. I spent the better part of today messing with this. Slides and prints look very near the same at all pixel counts/file sizes. It's NOT Silverfast, it's my scanner and only negatives.
I thank you and if someone can help here I thank you more. I don't expect to have to do too many negatives. I intend to use Silverfast SE+ to scan family prints and negatives if the prints are lost or in poor shape so I can share them with family on recordable media.

Well I have to buy this program anyway because the software that came with the scanner is really bad. I know I haven't paid yet so I am not entitled to support but I will buy it if I can somehow get this negative problem ironed out. I love the multi-scan, the shadows look great! It's like having a new and better scanner. It scans excellent prints and I am amazed how good they look.
This program is wonderful and once the conventions are learned it becomes intuitive to use, at least at a basic level as I used it. Could this somehow be affecting the balance of the scans? I also examined the scans in in the Windows picture and fax viewer and they had the same issue. In the smallest scan the watermark covers fully 1/4 of the scan and in the largest scan they are barely visible. One thing I noticed as the scans become larger and increase in pixel count the percent of pixels taken up by the demo watermark becomes less. I used the exact same settings for each scan only changing the output resolution and pushing the scan button between scans.Īs compared to my prescan the lowest resolution shows a distinct magenta cast and underwhelming contrast, as I move up the scale each preceding scan becomes closer to how I set up the prescan, at the scan and my prescan become closely matched, as I scan at resolutions above this the scans take on a green cast and becomes increasingly contrasty and blown out until at (my max optical) almost all the highlights are blown and everything is green.

I used no filter, AACO, SRD and ACR are all off, single-pass and I'm scanning a 48->24 tiff to Elements 4.0.Īs a trial I scanned at each of the optical resolutions of my scanner those being 50, 100, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 24 at 100% scaling each resulting in increasingly larger files and pixel count. Depending on the resolution (size) of the scan I make I get varying degrees of color cast and contrast changes.Įxample: I set up a negative of Kodak MAX Versatility 400 using the Fuji Superia 400 profile, which looks best to me, in Negafix and a few tweaks and I get a nice looking prescan. Using negafix and controls I can get a balanced prescan that looks as good as I need it to look. Using SE+ Demo Win XP, HP 4890 flatbed, Elements 4.0. I'm new to this so my terminology may not be correct but I will try to explain my issue as best I can.
