I recently bought a new scanner, a Microtek ArtixScan M1 with Lasersoft software (with calibration targets). I mainly wanted it to handle prints but have used it mostly for slides. I am comparing some of the scans done on it to my Dimage Elite 5400 II slide scanner. I have not really used it for prints due to speed issues so I am probably in the market for a good quality print scanner at some point.
This is a 1962 Kodachrome transparency (actually the end of a roll that did not get mounted). It was scanned on a Microtek ArtixScan M1 using Silverfast. I am curious about the fringing and the blue/cyan as well as the fringing. When I look at the slide under a loupe the blue cast and some fringing are apparent. Is this an example of dye movement/breakdown or is the fringing increased by the scanning process?
