 Re: filmscanners: Oversaturated reds
 
 
You aren't the first to point out oversaturated reds with the HP S-20. 
Interestingly, however, I have this problem with transparencies, and you 
have it with negs, which seems to imply something is either wrong with 
the software or the CCD sensitivity.
I have spoken to HP engineers about this, and they told me this is not 
normal, and it is a defect in some units, since some do not manifest it.
I have found the only manner to correct this is in Photoshop by moving 
the red hue position in the hue and saturation menu to reduce the red level.
I suggest you call HP and let them know you have this problem.  You 
aren't the only one.
