I've left the sliders on the middle(default) position and it has worked pretty ok for me. I remember testing it out and the default position was ok if you have flat negatives. I've had some negatives that were quite bent due to old age and there adjusting the sliders has helped. The problem is that you either have the middle or the corners of the negative in perfect focus. My five cents worth. Best regards, Linus

Yeah, it's a blessing to have a lot of film from your childhood, but a bit of a curse when scanning it in. :) My thoughts were of cropping the original scans edges if needed and then doing a quick adjusting of colors on a copy as needed. That way you would have photos that you could take to the printers but still have the original to redo the adjustments if you or someone else got more time. On the more memorable photos I would spend a lot more time to get them looking their best. I've got Photoshop Elements but I have thought of buying Lightroom. Does it make sense for scanned negatives? Have never used it before.

Thanks for the response! I use Silverfast and the presets give pretty good results, usually very little to adjust afterwards. For unknown films I've used the generic "other" with color correction and usually that has given a reasonable result. This IFI 200 S film seems to give "strange"(some brownish, some greenish) results, maybe it's a fault in the processing of the film when developed or something else. I have a couple of hundred photos with this film and I though that I would test with a preset and see if it gives better results. I've got hundreds of rolls to scan and I would like to spend as little time to correct images afterwards.

I'm scanning in my parents old negatives and I'm trying to identify the maker/brand and type of film. The negative has the markings "IFI 200 S" and DX code 115-14. Couldn't find a match for the DX code, the closest was 115-12 and I'm thinking if it maybe was a rebranded film from a major maker or one of those camera+film packages where you send in the whole unit for processing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
