[filmscanners] Re: Scan "Glow"

["Robert DeCandido, PhD" <rdcny@earthlink.net>]

Hello All,

My apologies for the delay in responding but I receive the
Filmscanners info in Digest form (once per day).

To answer some questions: I do have a cover for the scanner (since Day
1), so dust is not an issue.  Also, the "glow" around white objects in
the scan of the slide surrounds the object itself.  (That means the
glow is seen in the horizontal and the vertical.)  So, I think the
response about the different layers of the slide film being the
culprit is accurate.  And, that this effect is being seen with
different scanners by different manufacturers (Nikon, Minolta,
Polaroid) seems to indicate that it is a CCD/Design effect/flaw.

By the way, at Baboo on West 20th Street in Manhattan, NYC, E-6
processing (for 35mm Provia/36 exposure) is $5.20 USD if one pays in
cash (three hour processing).  Tax is 8.25% on top of that.  Push
processing is $1/roll extra.  Processing may be a few cents cheaper at
FlatIron nearby on West 17th street ($8 for three hour processing and
$4.62 for 24 hour processing).  The girlfriend/photographer prefers
Baboo, while I prefer the latter.  We just wish there was a better way
to reduce the glow surrounding fledgling Peregrine Falcons
photographed in June at 55 Water Street and then Riverside Church.

Thanks All,

Robert DeCandido, PhD
