Hello all --
Haven't shot film in about two decades, but just ran out and got a toyo field and have started shooting 4x5. Been working digitally for a few years, so I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of workflow, color management and so forth.
Except something's wrong.
Just got my first batch of ektar 100 back from the lab, set up my epson v700 and fired up silverfast. I scanned at 1200ppi, 48 bit, and used the correct negafix settings. When I open the files in PS, they have SFprofT (PerfectionV700).icc as the profile, and look terrible. I convert to ProPhoto and have been trying to correct, but the initial scan is so far off in terms of color balance that I simply can't get a decent image. The image has a severe green/cyan cast and is terribly blue in the shadows.
What am I doing wrong? It looks like the scanner is tagging the image with the correct icc profile - I've even tried assigning various Epson profiles but they look no better.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
