I haven't checked this thread in some time so I didn't see a few of the replies.
Thanks for all the great info and help. I have done a lot more scanning since I first asked the question and feel I am starting to get better at it and am more happy with the results.
MikeW I got the book by Tim Grey not long after I started this thread and it has been very helpful.
Ben Edict I will try your suggestion of making a preset for Velvia.

Thanks for thew responses guys.
Lowell,
all my scans have the red cast if I leave the color adjustments alone.
I am mainly trying to get the scan to look like the transparency. This photo was taken during daylight on a sunny day in the shade.
Last night I played around with another shot from the same roll. I got the red cast out but the colors are much less vibrant. I printed a copy and compared the print to the slide and didn't look near as good.
I think I need to recalibrate my equipment and also keep playing around with scanning till I get the hang of it. I am still a beginner at the whole scanning thing so I have much to learn.

Hey all, I have an Epson V500 and the Epson scanning software. I have been trying to scan a roll of Velvia RVP without doing to much to change the colors. All my scans have a distinct red cast to them.
The settings I have been using are,
Professional Mode
Unsharp Mask- Medium
Digital Ice on
Color control is set to Continuous Auto, Gamma 2.2
Auto exposure is set to Mid Point.
Once I get a preview scan then I play with the histogram a bit to get the lighting how I want.
I try not to do any color adjustment because I am trying to keep as much of the "Velvia" color as possible.
Here is one of my recent scans
P67, 45 f/4, Velvia RVP
This photo was a bit under exposed which may be partly to blame for the red cast.
The concrete below the bick should be more gray.
Any tips/help in getting better scans using this setup would be much appreciated,
Swift1
