do a raw black and white scan with silverfast 6.6

If you used auto exposure while scanning or scanned with VueScan using the media setting for negative film densities that were identical on the film will have become different digital values for individual negative scans. There is a condition attached to that however: To meaningfully use CC-Master on multiple images all scans from the same film must have been created in the same way - that is with identical exposure / analog gain settings. You can get around this automatic adjustment by use of the CC Master panel. So much as an initial answer to your question on what happens initially. You can use the undo lists to undo the re-initialization, but leaving the new threshold in place. Some settings such as CC are inevitably lost in that process. A workaround exists though: If you enter the number you want as a negative decimal (that is with a minus sign up front) the plug-in will re-initialize using the value specified - without re-starting the plug-in. They exclusively apply to future plug-in runs. When modified the threshold settings get saved only. Setting the initial CC (also based on the Lightness threshold) Setting up the initial Lightness estimate (removal of Black) Setting up the initial Black Point estimate There are three initial adjustments involved: Read the built-in help entries on those two. What the plug-in does initially is controlled by two thresholds on the options screen (one labled Lightness, one labeled Blackpoint). It's just the leves and the brightness which I cannot understand! I rarely have problems with the colors, which come out great since I know how to scan negative film properly. I kinda resent having to find a white or grey point my self since the point of this software is that it's supposed to do so it's self and better than photoshop. However i feel that it's not when colorperfect applies a strong tint to the entire scene.

Using 'ring around' is a very useful tool. I somehow get the feeling, CP first interprets the picture and presents it to you with it's guestimates? Is this correct? How can I avoid this, regarding brightness especially (so if a negative is overexposed a lot the outcome should look like it!)Ĭheers and thanks in advance (and sorry for my bad english I guess)Ĭolor in color perfect has been quite a chore for me and doesn't seem to provide much benefit over vuescan color balance settings. CP treats them differently, dark pictures (thin negatives) are getting pulled up, bright pictures pushed down, the blackpoint also varies a lot between pictures. I notice this quite a lot when I load the plugin on several very similar shots. How do I get Colorperfect to treat all negatives of one roll the same? There's just one thing I can't figure out. Using CP for a while now and I'm satisfied with it.
