[filmscanners] RE: Noise in Polaroid SS 4000 scans

["Alessandro Pardi" <alessandro.pardi@inferentiadnm.com>]

Hello Harry,

I downloaded the raw scan (office bandwidth, he he) and played a bit with it
in PS. Your uploaded images are sure low contrast, but increasing contrast
doesn't reduce the "noise", though the image is more pleasant. I actually
suspect it's grain rather than noise. Have you tried scanning any other
film? 160 is relatively low speed, and one would expect fine grain, but I
found this equation doesn't always hold with scanners.

Alessandro
