Re: Polaroid Sprintscan 120 neg scanning problems

2004-10-21 by Shilesh Jani

I also use  SS120 for my MF scans.  I am under the impression that 
Silverfast never instituted auto or manual focus for this scanner.  
When scanning with SF, the focus point is wherever the last focus was 
set by Polaroids Insight software.  So, what I do is always use 
Insight to scan "raw" followed by SF HDR to import into PS.

Regards.
