Wht Kirk and Ellis are saying with an addition or two. First, you can't correct everything in Photoshop. You have to make sure you capture all the information you want in your scan and SF AI will be a great asset in making sure you do that. Second, while you sometimes need all the AI bells and whistles, you don't always. I have found time after time when workingwith well exposed transparencies that AI's auto settings often give me better results than much manualk manipulation using other scanning software .... I am not advocating stoping with the auto settings or even using them most of the time but I dowant to alert you to the fact that they can often produce quite acceptable results.
