Although this is slightly off topic, can I ask about scanning B&W neg
film.
The thread about silver versus carbon step wedges raises an issue about
scanning negs. I have always had "noise" issues with scanning negs. Is
this related to the callier effect and are there any recommended
methods for neg scanning?
I would like to eventually convert from my darkroom silver fine prints
to inkjet prints and would like to scan negs direct rather than scan
prints. I also feel that since the dynamic range of a scanner is
usually much higher than that of a silver printing paper (requiring a
density input range of between 0.9-1.4 OD) that a neg could be
processed harder to improve local contrast.
if anyone out there is doing this kind of work, they could reply off
list.
Thanks
Simon

Simon,
There's a good B&W mailing list on
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/
All kinds of work flows discussed there. All kinds of inks and
papers tested and used. You can check the archives on that site
first.
Ernst
