I've heard that http://www.scantips.com/ has some great info. I have to
admit that I haven't had a chance to pour through it myself. Let us all
know if you find it helpful.

I've also heard that SilverFast makes a big difference. It's a bit pricey.

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Need help with B&W film scanning

Does anyone know any good resources and/or tips
for scanning black and white film? A while back
I purchased a fairly decent scanner, (microtek
scanmaker 4), which has trays for scanning film.

I have been trying to scan 4x5 B&W negatives, but
seem to be having miserable results- way to much
contrast and little usable shadow detail.

If anyone has any good sources or internet sites
that have to do with scanning film and/or Photoshop
use, I would appreciate it!
