I am not incredibly proficient at Silverfast as yet, but this is my process. I mainly shoot negatives, Delta and Porta 160. I scan them in Silverfast Ai in HDR mode, and covert them to positives in Silverfast HDR. However when I import my scanned negatives into HDR they are all very dark. I have read this is normal but there is no information on what to do next.
I have read that Silverfast Ai should be set to Gamma 1 - and this actually does appear to work very well. Some people tell me that Ai should be left in negative mode for best results, but is this true? Should 'HDR for output' box be ticked or not. Everyone says something different.
I tried to put a post on Lasersoft forum about this but the moderator rejected it saying it was a technical support question. But it is not, it is all about the correct settings. If Lasersoft had a movie or tutorial about the optimum way for this process then I wouldn't have any problems.
Can anyone enlighten me as to the settings that should be put into both these programs to achieve optimum results?
