Hello,

I hope you can help me out.

I have been browsing this forum for a while and it has been excellent for solving most of my questions about scanning, however I have run into a pressing problem that I haven't seen mentioned.

I am using a Microtek ArtixScan M1 scanner with Silverfast AI. I am trying to scan 8x10 color negatives at a high resolution (would like to print 32x40" at 400DPI).

The file size is under 2Gigs, but after Silverfast goes through all the work scanning the negative, it does not save the file, instead it saves a file of only 8megs that seems to be a junk preview image.

What is going wrong? I haven't had a problem with smaller scans with Silverfast. I am able to make large scans with ScanWizard (but I don't like the software and would prefer to use Silverfast). Using a Mac G5 with 2Gigs of ram.

Many thanks for any help!
