Re: [Digital BW] Minolta Pro Vs Nikon 8000: Grain vs Softness

2002-01-26 by Tim Mimpriss

Many scanners add some USM sharpening as a default. Make sure you turn it
off if you want to reduce film ganularity. If you must sharpen, do it
selectively in your image editing program just before you print. Since I
discovered how to turn off the USM in my Imacon Photo (-120 & sharpen on!),
I can get grainless scans.
