Scanning B&W negatives for Printing

2003-05-28 by fools_luv_company

Couple of issues which I hope someone can tell what to do:
1)The CanoscanFS4000 FARE (dustRemoval feature) cannot work on B&W
negatives (the grains overloads it and it gives up). Is this true for
all B&W negatives? Tmax- 100, HP5+, HP4+, Tri-X are what I tried.
2)I cannot get rid of the grains even in PS: filter/ dustRemoval would
only take away my resolution and USM brings back the grains.

What's the best way to scan a B&W negative?

What's the best B&W negative to use for scanning?
