I have the aforementioned scanner and have been using it to scan in my 35mm negs. Works ok, now I'm starting to get into slides...problem, my scans are way too dark. What am I doing wrong? I have gone to Minolta's site, downloaded a patch(?), looked up on google for possiblities, etc. but all to no avail. Would appreciate any help as this is driving me nuts. My slides look nice when viewed with a projector. So, why, when I scan them in, do I have to adjust the brighteness, etc.? Thanks to all in advance!
