The HP color controls [as well as most of the other software controls] are close to being useless in the prescan mode. I have tried to use VueScan without much improvement. Since my scanner is beginning to fail [I have a horizontal off-color band in all scans now; re-calibrating and other LUG suggestions no longer fix the problem], I plan to replace it within the next couple of months with a Nikon CoolScan 4000. I don't do prints anymore either. I use print film so I get wider latitude for scanning purposes. /Mitch - -----Original Message----- From: Don Dory [mailto:dorysrus@mindspring.com] Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 7:08 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] High altitude question, now prescanning Mitch, most scanner software allows adjustments to color prior to the final scan so your workflow could include that adjustment prior to the final scan. The adjustment would tend to be global for a given film/altitude combination so there would be minimal trial and error to arrive at a adjustment. Like you, I don't do prints anymore unless the pictures are generic snaps for an album or charity work.
