Re: filmscanners: Color saturation with Vuescan

Agreed on the budget printers. Blown out highlights and no shadow detail. 

Still, even comparing my scans to good quality digital cameras like the Nikon 
990 leaves me dissapointed when viewing them on screen. My scans are sharper, 
which is not surprising given the resolution difference, but again, they just 
don't seem to have the color I guess I'm used to, or that people (clients) want 
to see.

I'm trying to determine if I've missed something, just haven't learned enough 
yet, or am expecting too much from the setup I have. It's hard to accept that 
an $500 digital camera can give better results when the output is for the web...
