Hi,
I have been going crazy trying to figure out how to configure Silverfast AI V6.6's "Frame" settings.
If anyone uses Silverfast and a CoolScan 9000 what I would like is a basic set of parameters for the setting the values for the FRAME tab's "ORIGINAL" , "SCALE%" and "OUTPUT" fields. I am just inteested in setting SF AI so that it will make the highest possible quality 11X14 and 16X20 (or 11X11 & 16X16 from 6X6) from full frame 35mm & 6X6 scans when printed by my Epson 3800 printer.
File size is irrelivant... quality is not.
[blockquote][/indent]How does one setup the original and scale% input boxes? does one put in 36mm X
[blockquote][/blockquote]24mm for the 35mm full frame?
[blockquote][/blockquote]How does one use the output settings? Do you enter the size of the desired print
[blockquote][/blockquote]output?
[blockquote][/blockquote]As for the other FRAME parameters, I have been told by LaserSoft that the best Q factor is 1.5 But I'm not sure
[blockquote][/blockquote]why and I was wondering if anyone here knows what effect this has.
[blockquote][/blockquote]Given the desired output (print size) what value should "SCREEN" be given?
[blockquote][/blockquote]I have been manually setting the dpi figure at 3600 as Lasersoft told me that
[indent][/blockquote]this is the true optical resolution of the Nikon 9000... not 4000dpi.
I have tried entering different values into the original/scale% fields as well as the Output fields but they end up changing each time I go to modify a value and I am not sure when and if to lock the fields. I have tried and tried to find some instructional material that addresses this specific area of the program configuration but I have been unable to do so anywhere and so I hope that someone on this forum who uses Silverfast might be kind enough to give me some advice as a starting point
What do I do?[/font]
