Re: Need help with B&W film scanning

Sorry, forget one thing.

Microtek also told me that the black liners for lining
up negatives that come with the Scanmaker 4 are for
neatness only. They save you the trouble of rotating
negatives in photoshop if you get them crooked, but
they say they make no difference to the quality of the
scan. I just stick the negatives directly on the
glass. I have had no problems with damaged negatives
or getting Newton rings in the scans (you do have to
be careful, of course).

The flatter the negative, the better--naturally. This
is another reason I prefer T-Max films to many
others, The film base is unusually thick and strong.
They curl very little if dried hanging with a weight
(which is normal I think). I like Agfa and Ilford
films and some of the Fuji B&W films a lot ,but they
curl terribly in my experience--epecially the Agfa
films.
