Re: [Digital BW] Re: Shooting and Scanning - traditional vs. digital darkroom

2001-12-04 by Julian Thomas

For 35mm I use TriX souped in Xtol, scanned on a ss4000 using Vuescan. For
mf (6x6 and 6x9) I use Delta 400 souped in DiXactol (wonderful new find) and
scanned on an Epson 1680Pro using Silverfast or Vuescan. I always scan 16bit
Raw Image (16bit HDR in Silverfast) as I don't want any of those nasty
filters getting between me and the neg. The dustspecs I use the stamping
tool in PS.
