Re: filmscanners: Vuescan Settings

[Maris V. Lidaka, Sr.]

AFAIK the gamma setting will not decrease shadow clipping but will merely
shift the curve over.  The "Auto black point" checkbox and the Black point %
setting on the Color tab would deal with that, and if necessary perhaps
multiple passes to soak out the shadow information (but heed the Help File
caveat).

Sorry I jumped in as I'm not Tony.

| For Tony Sleep -
|
| I really appreciated your workflow description, especially the part about
| trying to use Vuescan settings that will capture all data on the slide /
| negative. It's easy enough to lower the white point to ensure no clipping
at
| the high end as you suggest, and it works well. How to you do the same at
| the dark end of the spectrum? I've been raising the gamma considerably
| (several whole points) and sometimes that still doesn't get the dark end
off
| the end of the histogram.
