Digital BW, The Print

Nancy,
You must make sure you "select" the area you want scanned. Don't have any
extraneous area outside the negative included in the scan as this will mess
up (confuse) any exposure settings you might have. Try selecting in very
tight to the image and see if the scan result is any different. Also, why
would you use the "positive" setting, since it is in fact a negative? Or
will you fix that later on in Photoshop? Not knowing anything more about
your set up makes it difficult to suggest anything else.
 
Good luck.
 
Bob

Subject: Spam:*******, [Digital BW] Re: Epson V700 Scanner
 
Thanks, Ernst, I took out the document plate and did get a scan. Used
Epson's software and the transparency (positive) setting and got a faint
image. It is nothing like the clarity I see on a light box.

Is it the scanner (Epson V700). Someone on another forum where I was lurking
suggested that a scanner with a pull-out drawer like the Microtek is needed
for glass negatives.

I'm replying to Ernst, but anyone can jump in here. I really need help.
Thanks. Nancy
