Default Scanning Astro Slides

Hi Darren

It just frustrates me that the slides appear too dark to provide a
preview but will scan if you beat the system. The preview is very
important, though, to getting things right such as exposure,
saturation etc. before committing to a final scan.


Have you tried telling it that the slide is a 2 1/4" one? It occurs to
me that news:comp.periphs.scanners or
news:alt.comp.periphs.scanner may be good places to ask, too.

It sounds like it can't set its white/black levels in the prescan. Did you
post the web address of a sample scan?
