Re: [OM] B&W film scanning

[Dorothée Rapp]

Jez,

if I remember correctly, what I actually did is calibrate vuescan for 
Scala using Ed's advanced workflow suggestion at
http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/html/vuesc11.htm#topic10

You can do that easily too so you'll get settings for the exact roll you 
were using (don't forget to save settings ;))
Maybe some very slight b/w point correction afterwards, but very little 
if any.
Mind you, I was using version 7.4 when I did this and still am using it, 
because the first versions of 7.5 somehow gave strange colours.
I see he is now at 7.5.17 with many things improved, so I might try that 
next time. I can just recommend though to keep a working copy of vuescan 
when upgrading....
How do you expose the Scala? I was told by a pro to use it at 400 ASA 
and push it one stop to avoid too soft negs. Depends on the motives I 
guess, but I have the impression that for scanning it can be helpful to 
have less soft slides.
Just my 2 eurocents :)
