Silverfast SE versus Epson 3200 Software

[colliewalker1]

I have posted the following message on the Silverfast Forum: I'll be very interested to hear from any member on this Forum who is able to shed any light on my problem :-

I am using Silverfast SE 6.0.1r14 with an Epson Perfection 3200 Scanner: my Operating System is Windows XP Home.
(i)When I scan 35mm colour negatives, however I adjust the
colours of the scanned image, when I invert the image in
Photoshop it has the same pale blue colourcast which
NOTHING will move satisfactorily.
(ii)Using Epson's own software and ignoring Silverfast I
have no problems: firstly there is the option to see the
image in thumbnail form - a much simpler procedure:
secondly, the colours BEFORE editing are usually
excellent.
(iii)Where are the advantages of using Silverfast SE?

I also gave up on using Silverfast as I hated the interface and didnt much care for the results. The problem with trimmed down version of full titles is that vital elements seem to get missed.

I tried silverfast but soon switched over to vuescan for scanning. Not that its UI is any better, but the results were far more consistent.
