I scanned at 1200 dpi so I could see fine detail without having excessively large files. Once I had adjusted each individually and found their fail points I repeated the operation making adjustments in combination with other adjustments until I found their limits. I taught myself scanning by taking a technically excellent slide, scanning it at default settings in Silverfast AI 6 then adjusting each setting 5% to 10% one at a time and scanning after each adjustment then comparing that scan to the default scan.

Silverfast SE is a basic scan software less featured than Epson Scan. I have not used Silverfast since Silverfast 6. There are many complaints about Silverfast 8 being hard to understand and poor customer service. Silverfast AI has many more options to adjust the scan and resulting image but has a much steeper learning curve.

Here is a page of tips I put up to help people learn about creating manual batch scans with the EpsonScan software: In the end, this actually takes less time because you don't have to spend time doing comparisons of scans to film and then have to do the inevitable rescans. It is easy to set up and you know it will be accurate. Most people I know just set a batch scan of manual crops. Auto-cropping is nothing more than a 'guess' based on an algorithm and it is often fooled. If they did a careful comparison of most scans though, they would probably be surprised to find how many of their images on film are overly cropped or mis-cropped by the software's auto-cropping. Many people never realize that they are missing part of their image(s) until they get an obvious error like the one you experienced. You will find many references to the poor auto cropping problem on the internet. First, in the software have you change the 'thumbnail cropping area' slider from small to midway or large (you did switch the format size parameter in the software configuration box to your particular format though, right?).
