Any scanning gurus in here using SilverFast?

When scanning a B&W negative (4x5) that is overexposed about a stop or so I cannot get a good scan from SilverFast. Nothing seems to work. The interesting thing is that I can get a good scan using Epson Scan. Every time.

I’ve tried resetting SilverFast. I’ve tried turning Negafix off. I’ve tried every slider. None seem to be able to reduce the exposure of the negative very well. Epson Scan - no problem!

Anyone else experience this?

I’m on a Mac. Using an Epson V850.

Thank you!
