Hi there,
I use a Precision III.
I prefer not utilize FlexColor's image adjustment features. I simply open straight 3f scans in Photoshop to make my adjustments, then I save as TIFF. This has been working ok for me.
I have been under the assumption that FlexColor settings do not matter when you do a 3f scan. Adjustments in FC (profile setups, histogram sliders, curves etc.) affect the image file only when outputting (Saving) the image from within FlexColor to TIFF, leaving the original unaltered (except for additional metadata). Is this true across the board? Do ANY settings alter the output of the original 3f itself? Do any FC settings alter what I see when I open the original 3f in Photoshop?
I ask because when you click 3f to scan, the ensuing popup window asks you to set the following variables: Film Type, Setup (i.e. profile), Auto levels etc. If nothing affects the 3f then why ask to make these settings before the 3f scan?
And what about sharpness setting? Does setting a sharpness amount (or turning it off by entering a value of -120) affect the original 3f scan, or simply the "Saved" to TIFF file?
Any clarification here would be appreciated.
