Yes you do. Monitor gamma has noting to do with scanning originals and the settings required so to do.

Howard >> Why is it that I feel like I am having a conversation with myself about color management in Silverfast. Sure enough, I finally found the reference to gamma gradation in the Silverfast manual (not the easiest instruction manual in the world) and it refers to midtone gamma as opposed to monitor gamma. It says that correct setting is 1.8-2.0 for slides and 1.6-1.8 for negatives...so it should not be set to monitor gamma (like you do in Filmget gamma setting in the software). So I will need to go back and recalibrate using a different setting to see how it affects the calibrated scan.
