Digital BW, The Print

I haven't had any cropping problems.  I always get the entire image area in
the scan, for both transparencies and negatives.  I use the glass holder
now, but I had no problems with the standard holder, either.  This is for
6x6 images.

The scanner may cut one edge of the scan very closely, near the image area.
I believe this is because it looks for the image area in an attempt to know
just where to start the scan (in the direction of the film roll).  You can
adjust this position if you want.  Sometimes it doesn't pick it up at the
right spot, with images that don't have clear borders.  I look at the
previews and if it isn't covering the whole image, I adjust it, but it's a
rare issue.
