[filmscanners] RE: Scanning B+W negatives

["Chris Aitken" <chris@ion-dreams.com>]

Hi Art,

I sat there for most of the christmas break practising loading a film onto a
reel in the changing bag. The pressure seems to double when you know it
isn't a test film in there anymore (but a real one!).

I'm using a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual (original ~2400ppi) dedicated film
scanner, latest vuescan.

I have tried (briefly) scanning as a B+W slide, then reversing in PS,
scanning as a B+W neg (TMAX and XP2).

Chris
