I have been scanning 4x5 Portra VC on an Imacon scanner with the latest software. My settings are Porta Negative, Custom Wht Balance, Single Shot, RGB16bit, 5000 Temperature, PPI 2040, saved as TIFF.
My proof sheets look fine (traditional C-prints), but I am getting a crossover of magenta in the sky and green in the shadows when I make a scan. Therefore, color corrections are more than difficult.
Does anyone have any experience with this problem? Does anyone have a extensive experience making scans of color negatives on an Imacon? Is there a protocol that will insure a better scan?
