I'm having trouble getting reds. I thought I'd solved the problem by purchasing ColorPerfect but apparently not. This is an exmple of what I mean. This is my routine with my Epson V700, Vuescan and Colorperfect.
Help me, Please!

Hi

well, I found that I get better results with my workflow (here). I have tried vuescan a few times (starting in version 7 or so) with a number of scanners and found it difficult for me to get as good a result, I also had similar issues with Colour Neg (or negpos or what ever its current name is).

For instance, an example using my workflow (here, where I have 120 6x12 scanned and compared to my digital image {taken as my exposure guide}).

Particularly with 35mm strips on an Espon flatbed once set I can clone that section and paste it over the rest of the images I wish to scan (as per here). That way all frames of the film are processed the same way :smile:

hope that helps

Thanks for your help. I'd come across your workflow and gave it a go and got a good result but the workflow with ColorPerfect is very much quicker for me. I sorted out my reds problem. I'd fallen into a routine of converting the colour profile of my file which caused ColorPerfect to throw a fit and spit out duff colours. All's well now.
Thanks again
Pete
