I've got 2 different scanners:
Epson Stylus Photo RX500
HP Photosmart C4780
Even though it's about 7 years old, I actually like the Epson much better, especially the software and interface.
Anyway I'm having extreme difficulty scanning cards with silver foil fronts. Some refractors are fine, others not so good. The silver-faced cards typically turn out really dark, like charcoal. I'm using Photoshop to clean them up, but I just can't get them to look good at all. (Maybe there's a method of improving them in Photoshop where'd they'd be ok, but I'm unaware.)
Ideas or suggestions? I've tried elevating them off the glass, adjusting resolution, leaving he lid up, and several things in Photoshop.
I'm really in need of some help here!
