Ralph, I got your email and replied. I had some problems scanning my negatives. I had raw + tiff selected and that was a mistake. I changed it back to just plain ol' tiff. The raw was adding too much darkness, and I thought at first it was my exposure of the shots. I rescanned them with the proper settings, and found that the auto white balance was doing just as good a job as I was doing using auto in PSE6, so I just used that. Also, I had to delete my photos at least twice, the first time due to just too dark, and the second, because the EXIF data kept getting lost after I added it. Or rather, I though I added it. I use AnalogEXIF and for some reason, it would not write the correct EXIF is I just simply selected the data from my equipment list and then saved to multiple files I had selected. Some it would write and the rest it would not, and I tried like 5 times. Then I got the idea to copy the meta data from one of the files that had the same data, and then it did write the data to all the files I selected. I guess the AnalogEXIF can't keep the real time data in memory, but by copying the meta data from a picture that already has that data, it can remember that for the entire process of writing several files. This took me another good while to figure out. So, now the pics are all with the correct EXIF, something that I promised myself to make sure all the film shots have correct EXIF for others to read.
As I wrote in the email, I'll be cleaning the shutter blades when I can do it. In the mean time, I'll be using my 35mm Minolta XE-7 for awhile. I have a bunch of color film I want to use up for it, and 2 100ft rolls of 100 and 400 B&W to use as well. I like the Semi P for how small it is, and so I'll be getting it working again soon. Again, thank you for the info.
Craig
