RE: filmscanners: FS2710

["Norman Unsworth" <unsworth_norman@aclink.org>]

I have this exact same problem with my Minolta Scan Dual II. I can get to a
pretty good 'crop' image in Vuescan but the raw scans are generally very
washed out.

Not another one... I presume you are scanning negs. Colin Maddock and myself
have been in contact discussing the same problem but Ed doesn't seem to
think there is one.

I recently downloaded ver7.0.24 and discovered using Default settings and
Film Type to Negative/Generic, then apply Auto levels in PS obtained a
pretty good scan, but in general the base scan sucks, even the raw scan is
washed out. However the quality of slide scans have remained constant over
the many updates.

What OS are you running, Colin and myself are Mac based.
