Check 3: If the film is in poor condition (dirty, faded, etc.), use Reduce Dust and Scratches, Fading Correction, Grain Correction, etc. in Image Settings on the Advanced Mode tab of ScanGear (scanner driver).

Image Settings

Note

If a print out of an image does not appear satisfactory or the same as what you see on the monitor, you may need to change the printer's settings. Or, there may be a problem with the printer.

For details, refer to the manual of your printer.

Check 4: If circular stripe patterns (Newton's rings) appear, load the film

face-down and click Preview, then click (Mirror) on the Toolbar of ScanGear (scanner driver) to invert the image, then click Scan.

Check 5: The film may be extremely dark or bright, or the spaces between frames are extremely narrow (2 mm is standard).

Scan again using ScanGear (scanner driver) if the Scanner Buttons or MP Navigator EX yielded less than satisfactory colors.

Check 6: Adjust the brightness, contrast, tone curve, etc. on the Advanced Mode tab if the colors of the ScanGear's preview scan was unsatisfactory.

Check 7: Adjust the saturation and color balance on the Advanced Mode tab of ScanGear (scanner driver) if the scanned image appears reddish or bluish.
