Can one adjust color and exposure before scanning

I only used it for B&W; neg. there is some adjustments, but will not scan full frame on 120 negs. I would rate this unit at 2 stars.

Not that I know. I have just used the computer for any corrections I needed to make.

I returned it the next day it didn't work. I would not recommend this item.

I found that you can do small adjustments before scanning, mainly exposure, but I do more once I've uploaded it to my computer. The exposure adjustments are pretty good though.

If your negative is color the scan will be in color. I believe you have the option to change it to greyscale or black and white but I have never used that option.

I have the 8600F and have scanned 14 rolls of 24 exposure film. All but one roll worked fine. One roll some pictures look over-exposed and about half of the jpg's look like negatives. I was able to use Adobe photo elements and do a negative on it and color balance to get it to look near normal. There are still a half dozen or more that the colors are all off if I try this. If anyone has figured out a cause and/or solution, please let me know as well! Thanks.

Yes, you can scan as JPG and in color, at variable resolutions. The quality of the scan somewhat depends on how steady your hand is, but you have unlimited do-overs if you don't like the result right away.

Yea, you can select different "profiles" with settings like resolution, simplex vs duplex, color vs b&w.;

assuming you are not in full auto..yes..you have enough buttons on the body to change almost all the settings ..such as : wb,iso,s.speed,aperture,picture mode,etc.

Good quality scans at 300 dpi. Adequate for most documentation not requiring picture quality.Multiple settings (flexible) for full color or black and white.Not sufficient for archiving pictures (600-800-1200 dpi).

I have several scanners, but from what I remember about this particular one, I don't believe so. The one that I do have that says it does negatives makes the picture a very odd color. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Before applying the proposed change, there a few photos that can be viewed "before" and "after". After change is accepted, I don't know if can go back to original. Proof of the pudding will be prints made after calibration. I assume that prints from a good lab are not similar to what you see on your monitor, or you would not be looking at calibration.

I just leave the top I open when I scan books, and it works fine. You can save a default with your preferences, so I'd guess you can set it to economy (grayscale). I've never tried though. I usually use color.

Not directly. Although by using the SCN function you are able to set the type of photo you are trying to get and the exposure settings change for that type of scenery.

I've used it for extensive scanning and it does extremely well -- it's also very fast. Some people that complain about scans being too light apparently fail to realize they need to adjust the scan sensitivity, called the threshold level; this is accomplished using the provided scanning software called MF Toolbox. That level can be adjusted from 0 to 256, with higher numbers resulting in darker scans. It defaults to 128 (mid-range), which can result in a scan that is too light.

When you scan slides or negatives on this scanner, it defaults to certain pre-set sizes that you can select via configuration. It does a good job of recognizing images of pre-set size. For odd sizes where you don't have a preset, you need to turn off the thumbnail function and manually select the images. But this is not hard, and if you're editing in say photoshop, getting the selection accurate is not that important.

Karen, yes you can but it should be done carefully. The mouse/scanner is best when covering a smaller area but can scan a very large area. I have not tried it beyond 8.5x11 but it seems like it may work for even larger surfaces. It takes some practice to scan larger areas but it really works well. The OCR is pretty decent also. Once scanned you can set the image size to whatever you like with a good editor.

Absolutely NOT. The scanner's light source will only cover up to a 35mm negative or slide's image area. I was hoping to do 2-1/4 negatives and super slides but there's no possible way. It does 35mm's and flat art just great, though.

not that I have seen - I scan into Windows Photo live gallery and from there you can edit it into b&w or different tones.

You will need to set your scan for the maximum DPI possible and make sure that both the photo being scanned and the scanner glass is as free of dust / lint etc as possible. The only issue I see here is the graininess of the original photo. The larger the grain in the original the less desirable the 36 x 36 print will be.
