RE: [Digital BW] Scanning through dense negatives

2012-07-24 by E.Neilsen

I would also suggest the Nikon scan, or if you are on a Mac, do you the
setting in Vue Scan, They can be a little hard to get a hang of but they do
work. Change both you expose and use the analog gain, combine the scan in
PS, or and HDR program. That of course depends on so many versions of
software as to which is best, better or good.. : )   yes, the easy days. put
neg in enlarger, make sure it's in focus , print. oh.

FWIW, the Nikon scan software makes analog gain easy to adjust, which is
what I've used. It's a slider, so you can try increasing the amount until
it's
enough.
