Initial software settings - feedback please

[Jumpman2]

Hi all,

looking to get some feedback on some settings for my Epson V700.
I am trying Epson Scan and VueScan software, both with varying results and I'm not sure which to choose before image clean up in PS or LiteRoom.

If anyone could provide me some feedback and guidance on which setting would be best before processing, it would be appreciated.

All scanning done at 300dpi, 24b, TIF - compressed to 90% JPG. Additional details on each scan as per below:

Scan Software: Epson Scan
01 = Auto Exposure Type - Document; Unsharp Mask - Medium; Descreen - Magazine 133 lpi
02 = Auto Exposure Type - Photo; Unsharp Mask - Medium; Descreen - Magazine 133 lpi
03 = Auto Exposure Type - Photo; Unsharp Mask - Medium; Descreen - Magazine 133 lpi; Color Restoration - Yes



Scan Software: VueScan
04 = Input - Color Photo; Colour - Neutral
05 = Input - Document; Colour - Neutral
06 = Input - Color Photo; Colour - Auto Level
07 = Input - Document; Colour - Auto Level



---------

Epson Scan - I'm quite partial to 01, though 02 is closer to the magazine colours (at least by my screen settings). 03 Color restoration seems to adjust white balance?

VueScan - 04 Colour Photo setting picks up moire but has detail in the lingerie. 05 Magazine Setting descreens but reduces detail (as it would).
04-05 both seem washed out compared to Epson Scan (maybe over saturation of Epson software? ) 06-07 Auto Level seems far too bright.

Thanks, JM2
