Upon closer use of vuescan 7.3.6:
When BP is set to 0 or at 0.0001 i get unexpected RGB=0 values in my scans.
The complete border area of the negative stays at RGB=0, likeways some very
dark points in the image. Before i had always some non rgb=0 values in this
area when i wanted.
I have to use a brightness of 1.5 till 2 to get some value other than 0
there, but this image needs a brightness of 0.75.....the negative is of
normal density.
i see in the scanhistograms in vuescan at the dark end, near BP the
beginning of a sharp peak: that is where the negative border and some other
pixels are. But it is cutoff.
Nevertheless i expect if i set BP to 0 that there will be no pixels in the
resulting scan with rgb= 0. Like i achieved before (with vuescan 7.3.1, i
dont know when exactly it changed)
How is BP calculated? Was there a change ion vuescan? Setting BP stays a bit
like manipulating a blackbox, since there is no way to pinpoint specific
pixels to be black or just not black for now.
(data: normal exposed supra 100 negative, ss4000, 48 bit scan, 4000 dpi, BP
set to 0, WP set to 0.001, 48 bit output to adobe RGB 1998 space)
best regards
