Colorperfect Vuescan 8
1.5 years ago I gave up on scanning with my coolscan 9000 / vuescan / RGBI raw-scan / colorperfect / photoshop pseudo workflow. No matter if slide or negative, the colors and contrasts were ugly. First I assigned Adobe-RGB resulting in hot reds. Later I tried sRGB with slightly better results but still disappointing. Increase the quality of your slide and negative scans from VueScan Professional with ColorPerfect! Find out more about how to scan with VueScan. ColorPerfect processes scans with color integrity and gives unprecedented flexibility in creative image editing.

Colorperfect Vuescan 9
This is driving me bonkers. Any help appreciated.
My goal:
Develop a workflow for scanning color film, 120 and 35mm (I think I have 4x5 down).
I got really nasty colors from Epson's software (I am happy with b/w though), thus bought Vuescan to use for color.
Notes:
-Software I am using/own: Epsonscan, Vuescan, ColorPerfect plugin.
-Hardware I own: Epson V700 scanner, betterscanning variable height mounting station, betterscanning dual MF film holder, and the plastic 35mm holder that comes with the v700.
-I only shoot ~10% of all film as color
-I have tons of color to scan, because I put it off for the past 2ish years
-It would be nice to batch scan, but if it is really complicated using Vuescan I am open to other options
-I am not exceptionally good at PS, but decent with Lightroom
How do you approach this?
A) Scan each image separately
B) Scan the entire strips as one large image then crop each negative out later
C) Figured how to use multi-image batch scanning
I just got Vuescan about a week ago and used it to scan some 4x5 Color Negatives (the main reason I got it was to scan color negs and slide film).
I am using betterscanning film holders and for 4x5 stuff dry mounting my negatives.
I looked all over the web, APUG, Vuescan's site, etc. I have been able to sort of batch scan one strip of 120 film. Haven't actually tried scanning it though.
Using 120 film in my holders allows me to have two strips of 3 images on each strip, side by side. So a maximum of 6 images could be scanning at once.
If I type in 2 by 3 in the settings I only get 3 boxes on the left, an 'empty space' in the upper right, and a 4th box on the bottom right. Not 6 numbered boxes, as one would expect.
My understanding is that if you hover over a box it tells you a number. And you can click on it to choose that box. You can also use the arrows in the bottom right corner to switch.
You then draw your crop/scan box inside the defined area. Although if it crosses over to another box the program then swaps to you editting that numbered box.
I could not a) get 6 boxes to show up and b) figure out if even possible to move the boxes around much.
Thanks a ton for any help.
