Scanners like different things than enlargers.  They far prefer thin film to
dense, for instance- the opposite of the choice for enlarging. It may even be
that they prefer thin to "properly" exposed.  I have been out of shooting and
developing for a time, but have in mind revamping my development scheme to fit
scanning, not enlarging.
