Minolta DiMAGE Scan Dual IV Software

[babette_ross]

I've just started using this along with the Minolta software (b/c

VueScan doesn't support the new scanner at this time) and it seems to

me that my images might be auto leveled and sharpened although to the

best of my knowledge i have not set it to do so. Any ideas as to

what might me going on. <br><br> I should mention, my old scanner

was the canoscan 2710 so i am now scaninng at 3200 dpi - could that

account for the sharper feel?

Regarding autolevels, if you are scanning black and white negatives and setting the Minolta software accordingly, you might very well be getting a lot of clipping, if the software is similar to Scan Dual II software. Vuescan should support this scanner soon, if Ed is true to form.

I was scanning color negatives... and it seems to me when i bring into photoshop on some images thre was a lot of clipping in the red and green channels based on what i saw in the levels historgram. And im hoping Ed gets it up soon, i've been checking daily.

Just hope Vuescan Support of the SDIV has fewer bumps than it did for the 3.

I've noticed the histograms from my DS IV scans are indeed clipped at the left-hand side (the shadow side, right?). Is there a way of adjusting the exposure setting prior to the final scan to prevent this?
