RE: filmscanners: Sprintscan/Vuescan/Negs
Ed, Thanks for the input. I was using v7.1.14. Upgraded to .17 and the improvement is VAST. BTW -- the generic film settings worked minimally better than the Kodak/Royal/100 Gen 2 setting. Thanks again for helping me use my favorite piece of software!

Try including part of the mask in the scan area and see if that helps. Rob
Re: filmscanners: Sprintscan/Vuescan/Negs
In Vuescan, try different settings for film type and for Color Balance.
