Wet mount is supposedly the best way. I haven't done it so maybe less than 2
cents worth. It should be cheap to try other than time.

Subject: [OM] eliminating Newton rings from film scans

I occasionally use a glass carrier to hold 35mm and 120 format film strips
for scanning.

In at least 50% of cases Newton rings show up in the final scans. The glass
plates are kept clean and moisture free as best as I can manage and likewise

the film strips.

Are these rings just an accident of nature waiting to happen or can anyone
suggest a routine or procedure to help eliminate their occurance?

Using Photoshop to have them go away is very time consuming and does not
eliminate the chance of leaving behind tell tale signs of their original
existence.
