Re: filmscanners: Skin tones
Following Ed's advice I rescanned an image in Vuescan using "infrared clean" & restore colors" The result compared to Nikonscan 3.1 can be seen at http://www.littlebarn.com/test/index.htm After autolevel and curve correction in Photoshop I get an image from Vuescan that is better than Nikon Scan.

Little bit flat, doll and color less. Yes, I see low saturation too with VS+SS4000. Doesn't bother me personally as I always scan to 16bit and work with the image in PS. I would far prefer saturation to be on the low side rather than too high on occasions, as that could be disastrous. Typically VS images need about +35 saturation here.

Re: filmscanners: Skin tones
You must be thinking of someone else - I have not done comparison tests, and rarely use NikonScan, instead using VueScan for the initial image and then any additional corrections and final sharpening in my graphics program.

I think the root of the problem is that VueScan doesn't have support for Fuji NPH 400 film. The default settings in VueScan are basically for Kodak Gold film, and it doesn't seem to match the Fuji NPH characteristics very well. You might experiment with the "Color|Restore colors" option. One of the things this option does is try to figure out the colors of each of the dye layers and separate out each of the dye layers. This often fixes problems both with films that aren't in the VueScan film table. However, this option only works well at high resolutions, where it can see color changes at the edges of dye clouds. When the "Color|Restore colors" option is enabled, the choice of film type in the Color tab is ignored. The other tricky part of using this option is that is doesn't affect the preview tab, only the scan tab, since the results improve as the scan resolution increases. Regards, Ed Hamrick

The flatness is good - it means that the highlights and shadows have NOT been clipped, and you can set those points wherever you wish in Photoshop or other graphics program.

Re: filmscanners: Skin tones
Hi Mikael The "white" background has made the difference. I did make the final prints from the Vuescan image, but after working the yellowier nikonscan image in Photoshop I get a printable image that is a little warmer.

Re: filmscanners: Skin tones
Hello John I measure both pictures taken indoors of the lady in black hair. That one you think are to yellow are clearly much better to print. Skin tones in CMYK are OK (little much yellow) The other picture have a magenta cast in the skin tones. (reddish) This one is not good to print. (in a for example newspaper) . Red and magenta are much stronger and skin tones and are a printing problem. A good role is to have more yellow than magenta in a skin tone. If you look at the wall behind the person- VueScan read it as gray. Only you know if this is right. Take the gray pipette in NikonScan and make a reading from the wall and se what's happens. A common fault in a scanned picture are when a person are in front of a wall who are white or gray -that the wall often have a cyan cast given from the scanner and software. Specially difficult does it get if the scanner software not have a measure point in the negative who are white, black or gray - than there can be very strange skin tones. Best way to solve the problem is to take one picture first where the person hold a gray scale and color scale in front of them as a reference.
