[filmscanners] Re: My best scanner/film combinations
Austin,

No not me either, it is something I have been meaning to do for a long
time, but ... not yet. But skies give me a good clue, I can definitely say
that skies printed from negs are (for me) grainier than skies printed from
slides. Don't forget there is a brightness variation associated with grain
as well as a spatial variation. It is this brightness variation that is
'enhanced' when you increase the contrast of your neg scan and so makes the
grain more visible. (In saying this I am repeating Michael's mind-game
explanation).
