A couple of pages back someone suggested buying a V700 refurb from Epson themselves.

I just did that. Thanks!

If you can catch them in stock, they're a great deal for $415 shipped:

Yea, that's what I did, but inflated a bit for Canadian currency.

Are those scanned with the stock holders?

Stock holders on both, medium format. I think I got lucky with my scanner, because I tried shimming the V700 holders with up to like 8 pieces of paper and it only made things worse.

What do you mean you got lucky if you say the adjustments made things worse?

Even with a step by step explanation the UI is mind-bogglingly unintuitive :psyduck:

It's like a choose your own adventure book.

Also scan in positive and invert in photoshop :shepface:

Also, these areas worry me:


Why sharpen here?
Why set the target size to whatever instamatic means and UPscale?

Your scan does look super orange, more than any Ektar I've seen personally, so I dunno. Post a screenshot of your scan settings?

Scan looks fine mate.
He needs to not use Lightroom for colour correction and use the PS curves tool to set the mid point.

Also he needs not use your action - setting the level b and w points for channels is dead simple and more accurate and you learn more by doing it manually.

e: set the b and w manually for each chan, used another levels layer to get the mid point and it all took 10 seconds.


Just add contrast and fine tuning like dukeku's edit and youre done.


(i'm at work, hence PS elements)


E: Setting the mid point gif
