Hmm… that’s strange because Epson Scan I believe is either gamma 2.2 or 1.8… it should definitely NOT be looking this dark coming out of Epson Scan!!!

Are you certain that you have the **document type set to “film”** ([Scanning Film Negatives with Epson Scan and Negative Lab Pro](https://forums.negativelabpro.com/t/scanning-film-negatives-with-epson-scan-and-negative-lab-pro/345))… it’s so dark it almost looks like it was just using the regular scanner instead of the film scanner…
