Hello,
I am new to the forum.
I'm digitalising some of my photographs using an Epson V850 Pro flatbed scanner and SiverFast 9 software.
I noticed a couple of things that seem a bit strange. When scanning reflective photos, the black areas of a photo seem to appear with slightly green tones on my monitor.
My monitor was fully colour calibrated recently, and so was the scanner, using IT8 transparencies.
I'm scanning at 600dpi or 1200dpi, and leaving all automatic settings "unticked" except Unsharp Masking.
I don't seem to have the same issues when scanning film.
Does anyone who uses the same or similar scanner + software has come across these issues?
You might also consider using a white backing paper as I've seen this with both the wrong calibration and/or backscatter.

I'm not sure what your scanning workflow is, but for me, the following works, in GIMP, for reflective media:
Scan using Epson scan into GIMP
Assign color profile to the image (NB: not convert, but assign without conversion!!). I use the ICC profile I made with the IT8 target here.
Then convert to sRGB profile. The colors at this point are a near perfect match with a real print.
I played with filter layers in Krita a little yesterday; seemed to work fine, except that I couldn't find a quick way to mask the filter layer. When applying a mask layer to the filter layer, it just masks the entire image. Still have to dig around a little. Otherwise, it took me only a couple of minutes to set up and get going. I might explore a little more one day; it looks promising.
