You can try auto exposure, scan preview the page with the darkest and lightest areas and turn auto exposure on, then scan rest of book with those settings.

By the by, are these actual raws or did you apply some light filters? Because the screening noise is very low compared to typical raws.

he put auto-descreening on in the scanner, I think...also please put a black paper/paper board on the back of the pic when scanning. the scans of dengeki hime are not that satisfying due to the bleed through( you have to put a black paper on pics of dengeki hime, the paper is too thin), I will try to rescan a few of them again sometime later.
