From chruchy, is it not always easier to make soft than the other way
'round?

Subject: [Digital BW] Re: Scan Resolution for a 4X5 Black and White
Negatives

 

John, I believe we have the same setup? Give it a try with those 4000
ppi scans, sometimes even open 2. How helpful it is depends on the
image and grain. I just do several scans as long as the neg is
mounted, with different settings... 

With small film though, I stick to native aperture.
