I scan my slides on the Minolta 5400 in 16-bit linear mode without
making any hw or sw exposure adjustments. In PS, the scans are assigned
to the Minolta Posi Linear profile and converted to the Adobe rgb 1998
working space. The histograms at this point typically would show no
clippings, and would need minimal tonal and color corrections.
This, however, is not the case for every slide. For those that are
underexposed, or with highly saturated colors, the histograms in the
5400 Exposure Control tab would show clippings. The histograms in PS
would be shifted to the left (probably due to the profile assignment)
and the clippings would either be gone or would remain. In some cases,
it takes a few iterative exposure adjustments in the 5400 until I can
get a PS histogram without clippings. Is this the correct way to adjust
the exposure in the 5400?
Under the Exposure Control tab, there are four adjustment sliders: one
composite and three channels. Is each of the four sliders hw only
adjustment? If yes, that would imply there are three separate light
sources, one for each channel. Or is there a better explanation?
Thanks.
