I have used Silverfast (full version) for my Epson V500 for some months now, and although I find it clumsy, it has worked. Now because I wanted to scan my first 4x5 neg, I needed to do it in two parts to be merged afterwards. Thus I needed to be sure that there is no auto exposure going on.
So I switch every single auto thing off, but auto is still on. I do some research, and some say that you should alt-click the auto icon, some say you should shift-click it, but whatever I do, the bloody thing is on auto exposure. I read the faq, I googled this and that, but I can not find out how to turn all auto OFF!
It seems to me that Silverfast knows everything there is to know about scanners, but unfortunately very little about making an interface that works with humans. (For 15 years I have made a living using computers for making music, and I have spent a LOT of time with software and manuals.)
Should I ditch Silverfast or is there hope?
