Alan, what problems have you had scanning B&W negs on your 1680? I scan 4x5 and 5x7 negs with no problem on mine. I haven't had a lot of success scanning 35 mm but I don't shoot much of that and I just assumed I was scanning with an inappropriate ppi. Ian Message: 6 Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2005 17:06:16 -0700

From: "A. Huntley" <Alan.Huntley@...> Subject: Re: Scanner & Scanning Software Question David, I use Silverfast Ai6 with my Epson Expression 1680 and have found, as others have previously stated on this list, that it's pretty much useless for scanning color and B&W negs. At least, that's my experience. Transparency film is not problem. So, I generally use Silverfast for slide film and Vuescan for B&W. As for how to setup and use, visit Silverfast's website; they have many instructional movies available. If you feel that you need more help beyond what's available on the website and in the user manual, see if you can obtain a copy of Taz Tally's Silverfast: The Official Guide. It's not great for scanning help, but I found it useful for setting up the software; especially the color management stuff. Hope this helps. Alan Huntley
