RE: [Digital BW] Diffusion sheet in scanner

2005-12-24 by Paul Roark

I'm now showing about a 5% reduction in midtone grain with Acros 100 and at
least that much with Agfapan 25, where in some areas it looks more like a 9%
improvement.  These numbers are the change in the Standard Deviation measure
of featureless areas of the negatives.  I used 2 Kodak diffusion sheets
taped onto the top of the Nikon 8000 glass carrier, about 1/8 inch above the
glass.  

So, it's not dramatic, but I am seeing some positive effects from the
diffusion.
