So, I stepped away from the computer a bit and muddled the issue around in my head.

This image was done with the older version of Epson Scan 2 after I adjusted the levels in the preview: The film is either 126 or 127 (I haven't measured) and I am scanning via wet-mount method with the supplied Epson wet-mount tray. These were most likely taken on a Kodak Brownie (or the like), and to be clear I'm not expecting to get Hasselblad-quality scans. (sigh)Īt the moment, I'm scanning some of my grandmother's old negatives from the 50's. Further, I've run into a new problem: After adjusting the histogram in preview, the resulting scanned image is coming out totally out of whack. Unfortunately, this did not at all resolve my issues. So I uninstalled the older version of Epson Scan 2 and downloaded/installed the newer version. I did some research on this issue, and it seems that since I downloaded Epson Scan 2 in mid-September, there was an updated driver/program made available in October. I get this, for example, whenever I try to resize a box around an image, play with levels in the histogram, etc.

Every action I do now results in a 'pinwheel' as the program is 'thinking'. However, a couple of days ago I upgraded to iOS 12 (Monterey) and right off the bat, I noticed that Epson Scan 2 was having problems. Epson Scan 2 was nowhere near as intuitive, and seemed quite clunky. Right off the bat, as an interface, Epson Scan 2 had a lot to be desired over the original Epson Scan. Unfortunately, with the newer 64-bit iMacs running iOS 11 (Big Sur), this meant that my old Epson Scan software would no longer be working. However, in early September, my iMac crashed, and I needed to get a new one. Long story short, I had been using Epson Scan as the interface between my iMac and Epson Perfection V750 Pro for the past ten years. I've now been working with Epson Scan 2 (as opposed to the original Epson Scan) for the past 2 months or so, and to be quite frank, I'm not very happy with it.
