SETTING SRDX SILVERFAST SOFTWARE
Now there is another annoying bug: for images sized 6圆 or 4x4, the thumbnail view does not work because the software does not correctly recognize the frames in the preview view anymore. I didn't try 4x5" sized negatives since - not sure if the thumbnail view works here. My workaround is to select each medium format manually in the preview RAW view and then have it scanned - it works well.
I often like especially B&W results better directly out of the box with the Epson software compared to SilverFast 8 SE.
SETTING SRDX SILVERFAST HOW TO
Otherwise SilverFast is a good program IMO after you get used to it and know how to avoid over-complication within the main menu window. I find the icons often not intuitive at all what they mean or can do. What annoys me most with SilverFast after lots of scanning with it is that every time I switch to either color to B&W or negative to positive (or vice versa) or to a different frame size, the program resets everything. I always have to re-enter the preferred scan resolution, the folder where I want to have the images saved to name a few. Other cumbersome thing is that you can't easily cancel a once started batch scan - if you have 15 frames of 35 mm negatives preselected and realize that you have to make a change after the process has started, you have to cancel each of the 15 selected batch scan modules separately and hitting cancel to scan for each frame. I wonder that this was overlooked when the program was made since it likely happens often for everyone. I can mainly talk about SF HDR, since I use Ai just for scanning into the HDR format. But I would assume, that the behaviour of the two SFs is identical. I agree that it is annoying that if you load the next image into HDR the settings for file format, path are reset to the default values.
Also if I set the histogram to separate, it falls back to additive if I open the next image. Same is true for the logarithmic display of the histogram (which really is not a log display). Also the frame settings reset the path to the default, which does not make sense. These may solve some of the problems you have with SF resetting everything to their defaults. The frame settings come into action with every frame command issued and set the tools to the values they had when you save the frame settings. There are, however, also disadvantages with that. Yes you can cancel a batch job by pressing ALT + cancel! This kills all jobs in the queue.
So you do not have to cancel each scan individually. But this is attributed to a lack of documentation!Īs far as dust removal of VueScan for Kodachrome is concerned, EH confirmed to me that the markings do not indicate all pixels that are modified! I subtracted an image without scratch removal from one with scratch removal. You would expect to see only the scratches. Far from true! VueScan is correcting all over the place in all dark areas.
