Epson V500 Scanning

I hope this post is in the right section of the forum. Scanning is a post-process that involves hardware and software. If it's in the wrong spot I am sure a mod will move it.

I just got my Epson V500 today and I've taken it for a bit of a test drive. I tried scanning some medium format (6 X 6) negatives. These were from the first roll I put through the camera this past winter. After dinking around with the software I found the setting for various sizes of medium format film; now I was scanning the whole image and not just a portion!

I need to play with it a bit more to get comfortable with the settings. I was wondering if anyone else that owns one of these could share some information or tips for scanner-newbies like myself.

This is a 300 dpi scan of a negative.




This is a 100% crop of the people in the picture scanned at 3200 dpi.



Does this look to be acceptable? I used the Digital Ice setting for both scans.

I would gladly accept any comments, criticism or suggestions.
