scanning at 16 bit grayscale with 4990

[Peter De Smidt]

I am not quite sure if I sould buy VueScan or SilerFast SE or AI software

Save your money. Use the Epson software.

+1.

I just finished the entire scan/digi-neg workflow and ended up with a nice looking negative. Epson pro did everything for me that silverfast does for this application. Only noticable difference was a tonal difference with the scanned tiff file which was then tweeked in PS.

I'm pretty sure SilverFast SE does not support 16-bit scan output. Upgrade to Silverfast Ai. I call the SE version the "Stupid Edition." It lacks some of the features of Ai, including the ability to alter gamma settings. I use Ai and have for several years. It's good software if a bit clunky.

Thanks. I will stay with Epson software.
