VUESCAN EPSON V550 INSTALL
I've just had a laptop upgraded with a 500gb SSD drive, more RAM and Win 10 instead of Win 7 and a complete new install on the drive (with latest drivers, latest BIOS, and updates on everything).
VUESCAN EPSON V550 SOFTWARE
On the right-hand side, they have a list of instructions for creating them with all of the different scanning software you mention (although note that EpsonScan cannot produce a true linear file so much as approximate one).I think Win 10 can be quite fussy over what it will recognise and run with.
VUESCAN EPSON V550 HOW TO
See CP's explanation about how to create linear scans. Once opened in ColorPerfect (set the L/G selection in the Start box to L), you then check the film type to get as close as possible using their supplied "FilmType" values. Both ViewScan and SilverFast can do this. You need a scanning program capable of producing a linear TIFF file. A linear scan is comparable to "raw" data from a digital camera but not identical. They accept linear scan data as one of their input modes, which deals with the inversion and color tint issue very well, in my experience. You mention the Photoshop plug-in ColorPerfect. But this seems as a bad starting point for editing, because at first i have to get rid of film tint and apply my own subjective color grading. The other end of the line would be scan raw, invert and edit myself. But i want to be able to compare my results. I dont want to delete the "film" from Filmphotography, because then i could just shoot digital. Is there a better way to get reproducable and accurate scans?.Will this destroy the look of the film because all films will look the same after profiling?

How are the scanned images going to look like? Will they look flat and will it be harder to achieve a good look of the image byĮditing? My thinking is, that it will not give me the perfect image Somewhere? If not, why not and whats the problem i dont see? Has this already been done and i can download filmtype profiles.I cannot test this by myself without buying vuescan and some it8 targets so i wanted to ask beforehand if somebody has more experience and can answere me the following questions: Get agnostic scans with no colorshift or software biases and with the colors as the film manufacturer intended.create an icc film profile with vuescan with these negatives.take a photograph of an it8 target under controlled light conditions with perfect exposure for middle grey on every filmroll(assuming imperfections in C-41 development) or at best for every filmtype.But this seems as a bad starting point for editing, because at first i have to get rid of filmtint and apply my own subjectiv color grading.

So all the pictures get colorgraded with different values and you can only give a hint(by choosing a film type) in wich direction the colorgrading should go. I want to be able to judge and compare my exposures across films.I own an Epson v550 and after fiddeling around with EpsonScan, Silverfast, VueScan, ColorPerfect and negfix8 i came to the conclusion, that i can get good results and good looking images but on the other hand every software does some kind of coloradjustments wich are decided on a by-picture-rule. Hello i am looking for simple way to scan film negatives in a reproducable manner.
