These are the first negatives scanned with my new v700. I didn't use ICE or any grain reduction. After scanning I adjusted levels and curves and sharpened.



And a different scan of the same negative.







Thanks for looking!

Yes, great results indeed!

I love my v700. That's how I do all my scanned images.

Remember that ICE will not work with B&W images. It will leave very odd artifacts. Color, it does a decent job with the small stuff.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Next task is to try colour negatives.

As long as your negatives are properly exposed, scanning them with the Epson Scan software is about as hard as falling off a log. You'll do fine.

Excellent tones and clarity, especially like 2,3, and 4!

The 3rd image is just amazing, the clarity of the image is so clear.

Very nice results! I wonder how much the V700 improves on my old 4990. I don't seem to capture as much details as you do.

Very nice yebisu! I agree with you about the ICE and grain reduction, I always have it deselected too. I'm not impressed with that aspect of the Epson software.

I'd be interested to know your experience with colour negs. I find the software does quite a good job of neutralising the normal orange cast of the negatives, but often skews the blue up a bit too much for me. It depends what film I'm scanning though.

Amazing sharpness and great tones.

I don't use ICE with my 4990 because it decreases image sharpness by a noticeable amount. I also don't use the dust removal feature because it adds artifacts to the image that look like slivers of glass. But I have used the grain reduction feature. It depends on the image really whether I use it, and how much I use. I have found it to be effective -- more effective in some cases than I can achieve with post-processing software like PS and PSP.

So, I'd suggest you scan an image multiple times: once without grain reduction, and then the others with GR selected, varying the amount with each scan. Study the results, and draw your own conclusions from these results.

That is worth trying out!

Heh. Whatever floats your boat. Speaking of which, it was a scan of a slide I took of a boat where I first noticed the phenomenon. It was a small fishing boat. Even a small fishing boat has a fair amount of masts and struts and support wires, etc. These "slivers" appeared usually at the intersections of these straight lines, especially if they formed simple geometric polygons. After that I'd notice these artifacts in shapes like the chop of ocean waves, etc. Way too distracting for me.
