>>2719040Yes I use epson scan. Honestly I suck hard and managing color curves. When I scan color film, I use marquee mode, because the software color corrects everything fairly well in the highlighted area. If you have black or white empty space from outside the frame, then that throws off the color correction. It can be fixed, but again I suck at that.
When I do black and white I use the sharpen mask and medium dust removal. 2400 dpi res seems to be a good balance of file size and resolution. I use canned air to blow both sides of my film and the scanner before scanning.
The best way to use that scanner with Epson scan is to use marquee mode and mess with the curves only on frames that are actually decent shots. That is the closest to DSLR scanning, really. However, I mass produce scans of all my shots so I lack fine tuning. I get much better work if I spend more time fine tuning my black, whites and grays on a single frame at a very high DPI setting.
