I was scanning old family snapshot negatives, when I noticed that the scanner (Epson 4490 Photo) was giving me different results with the same negative. I am attaching two examples of the same negative, though cropped differently. I was using the EPSON Scan software supplied with the scanner. In all other respects I thought the software and scanner were working quite satisfactorily. I have scanned the negative in question several more times, but I continue to get slightly different results with each one using the exact same software settings. I can't figure out the reason for the inconsistencies. I would appreciate suggestions from more experienced folks. Thanks!
