Hello all,
I have been trying to scan some 35mm Velvia 50 transparencies without much luck. I have a Nikon Coolscan V ED and my monitor is calibrated using a Datacolor Spyder PRO 3. I realize that my monitor won't give me the same saturation as the transparency on a light table does. However, I did expect it to be closer that what I am seeing. My monitor is new capable of far more saturated colors that I am seeing in these scans.
The problem is the scans come out looking washed out with very little color - certainly nothing close to how the transparencies appear on light table. Further, I don't seem to be able to get the color I'd like using post-processing in Photoshop. I've tried this using both VueScan and the NikonScan software that comes with the scanner.
When I scan, I turn off everything except DigitalICE - no ROC, GEM, or enhancer settings as I prefer to do these in Photoshop.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can improve this?
Thanks
