Re: filmscanners: neg conversion

["Maris V. Lidaka, Sr." <mlidaka@ameritech.net>]

Vuescan does have separate settings for each film type, and the qualities of 
each particular film should therefore be preserved in your scanned image.  My 
photographic eye is nowhere near as fine as yours, but I do notice that Fuji's 
colors do come through as different from Kodak's.

I believe Silverfast also has separate film settings but I don't have it for my 
filmscanner so I don't know.

Subject: filmscanners: neg conversion


| Since I'm still a filmscanning theoretician :-) I have a basic question
| about the conversion of negatives that is made by VueScan or SilverFast, for
| example.
| Negatives have different qualities, some render blues with slight magenta
| cast, some give you a little reddish flash tones (Fuji), some have lower
| saturation, etc.
| Are all those qualities preserved during the conversion to positive image
| and can I still recognize those characteristics of a particular emulsion or
| do I get only "averaged" results?
