i will not respond anymore to this thread, not to u at least...

we simply agree - fully agree - i really dont know what is the discussion here.

 

evita - make a scan on a good scanner (calibrated system) and then make it on uncalibrated one... take your best negative or slide... u will see... on calibrated system - your slide will look "just" like on light-table... on un-calibrated it will be "junk".

 

and again - yes - very little is needed after good scan - defenetly agree with u. as i have mentioned - i rarely use photoshop.... silverfast, flexcolor or oxygen just make the scan as if it on light table. minimal fine tunes needed to match it to your taste....

Victor, in a picture with this composition, with the eyes of this size, all I need is to look at the negative against a light, no scan and no light table needed, to see that there's no light in them.

It's amazing what people are saying about my film without ever having seen it! Please assume that the slide film is not underexposed.

 

Anyway, what vic said above about needing to get a good scan and final image from it is the goal here and I am trying to do this.

 

Going through all these steps in this thread uncovered a problem I was unaware of. My Minolta ScanDual III and/or VueScan Pro is automatically changing the exposure when scanning. I discovered it because the preview was very dark compared to the slide, and I selected only a portion of the image (not including the blown out background windows, and the preview automatically changed and the image brightened up a lot.

 

I'm not sure how to stop it. I already had VueScan not do color correction, and I even tried locking the exposure. Does anyone know whether I can tell this to not adjust the exposure? If it won't allow for this then maybe I do need to use something else like the Silverfast, etc???

 

I will try calibrating again, and select "exposure lock" on the calibration and see if this fixes it. Hopefully everything will be ironed out soon.
