Re: film development for scanning

2011-06-02 by John

Yes, it would be better to under develop to avoid blocking up white tones. But, maybe compensate with over exposure also to get all those details in the blacks. Kinda depends on the d-max capabilities of your scanner. Would try a few sheets first before leaving on the trip.
