There in autocontrast calculation you can set a percentage for both black and white which are excluded.This in order to increase contrast of the scan. If you try again with these values zeroed the result would be different. best regards simon jessurun amsterdam the netherlands - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ernest Nitka" <enitka@twcny.rr.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 5:03 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very interested. > Rolfe - just a side note - I too love my OS X but include a link indicating > a problem with scanning negatives ( not positives) with Nikon Coolscan 4000 > and 8000.
