Would love to hear feedback!

Great guide.

Scanning color negative film requires a good eye (yes, I know, the folks with Pakons will now rush in to tell us this is not true), but I think you've deconstructed this process down to the steps that everybody should be able to follow and get good results.

Donation made (although I don't use Epson Scan).

I remember seeing this article before and lost track of it....thanks for posting!!!

I have an Epson V500 and this process works so well its scary that I used the scanner so long with out it.

This is a good tutorial for adjusting color in Photoshop, too!

It is a good example showing how EpsonScan is capable and why most people probably can get along with it just fine. Users should at least work with it for a while before deciding they really need to buy Vuescan or Silverfast.

When I first started scanning, I really wanted Silverfast but couldn't justify the cost, so I just kept using Epson Scan and got used to it. Now I have Silverfast, and never use it. 🙂

Thanks for this! I'll take a look when I get home.

Just tried it, and it seems to help! I'm going to play with it more, but so far, so good...thanks!

Thank you for the link - in addition to bookmarking I exported it to PDF as a handy reference.

I have a V750 and typically use VueScan, but this applies across the board.

I read your first Ektar article and have been using it on all C-41. Another RFF member did something similar to you, but as I have a V500 yours should work better for me. I don't use paypal so if you PM your address to me through RFF I will send you a check. Thanks.
