The reason for my reply yesterday was my overflowing with frustration when I tried to scan a bunch of negs on the Nikon4000 scanner. The dynamic range of the negs (actually, of the subjects) was just waaaay to narrow -- and stretching the distributions (in 14bit/color images) led to an obscene amounts of noise. And without stretching the scans looked too flat. Maybe I was doing something wrong. > Within the last few months a PDML lister posted a URL about the very topic of a > pro who has switched to neg film for scanning which unfortunately generated > very little discussion (If anyone has the post that I an referring to archived > I'd appreciate a copy of it).
