Loss of detail in B&W scans
Posted: Tue May 11, 2004 8:57 am
Hi,
I'm very new to scanning my own negs [I started last night] and have a bottom of the range Primefilm 1800u scanner. I tried scanning some B&W (Kodak TMax 400) negs and have been very disappointed with the results. The image I get has high contrast, but I also lose any subtle detail such as clouds in skies, or writing on market stall signs. I can see this detail on the neg, so how do I get it to appear in my scan?
Any tips and pointers gratefully received
