[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thanks, Sander! I scan with my Nikon LS-2000, and Scala is definitely not easy to scan. I find it (along with Kodachrome) the most difficult films for scanning. Usually I have to really crank up the gamma multiplier in Vuescan to something like 1.4 or 1.6 even with a properly exposed Scala slide.
