In EPSON TWAIN, select TPU - neg. Film or TPU - pos. Film as the Document Source setting, depending on the type of film (35 mm film strips or slides) you are scanning. When previewing images of negatives scanned using a film holder, the color may appear odd as the frame of the film holder is perceived as white, causing your scans to appear darker. To see the correct color, click and drag the mouse over the image area, then click the Zoom Preview button. For details on scanner software settings, see the electronic EPSON TWAIN User’s Guide.
