I have tried and tried to scan pyro negatives with Silverfast Ai and an Epson V750. The histogram loads heavily to the right and highlights are toast. I have tried every film profile listed and played with the curves of the profiles. I have scanned as a negative, color negative, positive, grayscale, 48 bit color, etc. with no luck.
I take the same negatives and use Epson Scan, no problem at all.
Also, I use a non-pyro negative with Silverfast and no problems. That is not much of a help, though, as pyro is the only developer I use.
Epson Scan works fine and I use it, but I just happen to prefer the user interface of Silverfast. I was curious if anyone else with pyro negs has had the same Silverfast issues. I contacted tech support and they were utterly useless. I have loaded the latest and greatest version, etc.
