Query: Bad software, scanner not impressive

The software or the scanner will not read the information in dark areas of black and white negatives, causing clipping (featureless solid black areas). The software is not intuitive, is very obtuse, and is very, very limiting. There is a setting for "best quality scans" hidden in the [more...] menu under [settings]. The default is "good quality". Even after finding this and selecting "best" the scanner fails to read dark areas. It is not compatible with VueScan software, so your options to drive it with better software are not existing. Do not waste your money on this one.
