When using the Epson software make sure to select 'Professional Mode' and then select 'Film' as Document Type. You should then be able to select 'Color Negative Film' as Film Type and go from there. Good luck! Hi Teresa,

What setting did you use with the Epson software? Or did you use Vuescan? I'm having issues scanning mine in. I removed the reflective board and positioned it on the glass to where the backlight is. But can't seem to get it right. Help! -T I just bought an epson V600 and have Fuji 100c reclaimed negatives to scan. What setting did you use with the Epson software? Or did you use Vuescan?

This is much thicker than regular bleach. I also don't have to let the emulsion 'goop' dry - it's so thick it actually works very well as a protective coating for the emulsion, I leave it on and don't even use the taping method. Just put the neg emulsion side down on a piece of plastic or glass, put a little of the bleach gel on and rub it over the black, dissolving it. After you've worked it in a bit, put a little more on. After you can see the black is gone, rinse with warm water, then rinse off the goop completely with warm water. I've done this a lot and never had any bleach damage on the emulsion due to the goop protection, although you might want to test it yourself on something unimportant.
