I have been fighting with bad scans for quite a while now. By bad I mean images that when viewed at 100% look as though shot with a cheap digicam.
So today I took a roll of film to a "pro" lab in the big city and paid about three times as much as the discount stores charge to get some "good" scans from my roll of film. Imagine my disappointment when I get the CD in the machine and discover the same kind of cheap looking scan. Here's an example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pedalingprose/4443788489/sizes/o/ Turns out the sharpening method I used exaggerated the effect, but I'm leaving it as such for the time being so everyone can see what I'm referring to. See especially in the dark areas? That's not grain, that's digital noise ... unless I am completely mistaken. And I'm really sick of it. Is there no one left that makes good scans from a roll of film?
