I've calibrated my scanner with an IT8 target I bought from Silverfast in both Vuescan and Silverfast. I've calibrated my MacBook Pro's screen with a Datacolor doohickey. One group of slide has been very hard to scan. I can't seem to get rid of an magenta'ish cast. The pictures was shot on an overcast day [Edith Cavell glacier, Jasper National Park (Canada)]. The original slide has a beautiful milky green tone to the water and the snow banks was almost white - definitely not magenta. If I correct for the snow, the water turns grey. If I correct for the water, the magenta cast gets worse. I've tried this in both Silverfast and Vuescan. Both gives similar results. It's driving me crazy. Here is an example of a very bad scan from Silverfast. <http://www.aotera.org/tmp/ice.jpg> Any suggestions? Regards, Spencer
