Re: [Digital BW] Mottled Skies in BW negativ scans

2004-06-18 by Barbara White

I had this same problem on a bunch of negs shot with infrared film. I 
thought it was the processing, perhaps, but maybe it wasn't. Anyway, I 
never figured out a solution other than selecting the skies and doing a 
gradation and then adding a lot of grain (since it was grainy film). 
Worked pretty well, but I'd love to know what caused it, also.
