I know there are a LOT of very experienced Epson 3200 users on this forum and this postings is addressed to you folks.

I'm brand new to the world of scanning both 4x5 transparencies and negatives on an Epson 3200 flatbed scanner.

My question to all of you is, "What settings do you use most often when scanning 4x5 transparencies. And, are there different settings used for different transparency films?

The addendum to the above questions is, "What settings do you use most often when scanning 4x5 negative film? And, are there different settings used for different negative films?"

Lastly, what about 4x5 B&W negative films?

I know this is one of those "non-consensus oriented question" but I'm soliciting answers in terms of "what and why" did you choose the settings you did... In other words, are there settings used for the different film types that will maximize the quality of a scan in such a way that enhances the level of information available to software such as Photoshop.

Thanks in advance to all of you who respond.

Cheers
