...... back to basics ......PART 2
United States	2007-05-12 14:13:43

Well, finally got my venerable Leaf 45 and Mac 8100 linked and talking and I excitedly went to work and ..... ......... .ooops! After calibration (multiple) and good looking pre scans, my 35 mm B&W negative final scans all look like a much too dark negative image (as if I'd mistakingly scanned a positive image instead of a B&W negative). I then tried a mounted 35 mm color positive image (after re- calibration) and that came correctly out as a color positive image - but much too dense .........! Using Leaf plug in in Photoshop 6 .......... Any advice, suggestion, corrective would be appreciated. Most concerned about the B&W. Thanks, ralph [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (1) Reply (via web post) \| Start a new topic . __,_._,___

Are you scanning at 8 or 16 bit?
