I find it extremely easy to adjust the colours in camera raw of photoshop and it seems like the colour gradients are much smoother that way.

#Silverfast epson v600 manual

I used it till I tried vuescan.I scanned in fully manual mode without any colour correction and saving the files as native nikon raw format: dng. Autoexposure button will give you satisfaction in 50% of the time. The simplistic epson software seemed to work very good. I tried fully automatic scans and did all the manual adjustments but it seemed almost impossible to achieve correct colours. In the beginning I used highly praised Silverfast, the version that comes with v750, but I could never get proper colours from it. I tend to use the Landscape preset in Noiseware and then adjust the sliders as needed.Īre you using auto exposure or are you setting it manually? For this I use Imagenomic's Noiseware - it does a really great job and is highly configurable. That said, sometimes I'll end up with an underexposed slide and, despite my best efforts, I need to run noise reduction software on it (when all else fails). There's a feature called ME (Multi-Exposure) which can reduce noise in the deep shadow areas.

The Studio version can be a worthwhile upgrade if you shoot lots of slides. If using the built-in curves doesn't work, try manually setting a white and/or black point (not sure if this is an option in the SE version).įWIW, I am on a Mac and have no problems running Silverfast Ai Studio.

As another poster mentioned, underexposed slides can be problematic.Ģ) Try using Silverfast's built-in adjustment curves and see if it makes any difference (These are Standard, Landscape, Skin Tones, Gold Tones, etc.) Perhaps I am just less that talented with the settings, but my BW scans come out just fine.ġ) Make sure you nail the exposure. I also feel, that for some weird reason, there is a lot of light fall off in the corner of the images. If I want a decently exposed scan, it results in a very contrasty image if I want to keep the blacks. The results are bad because the image looks underexposed, and when lightening it, the blacks become greyish. What exactly are you doing and what don't you like about your results? I've never had any troubles scanning with the Epson software. I just never found the results to be what i was looking for, tho at the time i was doing low key work with lots of blacks, glad you found it works for you eq

In my opinion both are perfectly capable in 'Pro' mode, where you have full control over the scan instead of relying on auto settings. Silverfast doesn't come with Epsons in Japan and I refuse to pay for software that requires a scanner specific license, so I use Epson scan and occasionally Vuescan.

No, not as good as a more expensive scanner with significantly greater D-max capability (like an Imacon or drum scanner), but totally workable. Unless you are regularly underexposing your film, the V700 can do a decent job with both. Whaaaat? I shoot mostly Provia, plus some occasional Velvia. no ideas on the faults side of things with silverfast, but you should have Silverfast SE anycase in the box, SE can be a little basic but i found it better than anything else, before i upgraded to Ai studio. I use silverfast and now that i've got used to the settings, i have some really good results. I find neg film scans the best over slides, as they are more transparent and dont get digital noise. provia not so bad but i use astia these days and ectachrome E100G. you just cant make it look how it looks through a projector. Would advise to change film type if you're scanning, have tried many fruitless hours myself but the blacks in velvia are pretty much solid even to 8x multiscan. I am very unsatisfied with my Silverfast experience, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of choice out there, if you have looking for good results and not user friendliness. How do I download color profiles for the different films?

Is there any reason why my Silverfast software isn't working properly? I even uninstalled it all and downloaded the newest demo version. What would be the appropriate steps for scanning slides in Silverfast?

I have downloaded the Silverfast software, but I find it very user UNFRIENDLY and it keeps stalling/crashing (I'm using MAC OSX Leopard).

Scanning transparencies with the Epson software is absolutely horrible. This subject has probably been plowed through many times, but here I am asking again: what is the best way to scan 6圆 slides? I mostly use Provia 100F or Velvia 50.
