I have made pleasing scans of TRI-X negatives. I compared the resulting inkjet prints with the original silver prints, and they were at least as good, and in some instances better. I was so convinced by the quality, that I am trying to sell off my darkroom equipment.
I use VueScan (no idea what Nikonoscan would do), and I print on an EPSON 870. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sassan Hazeghi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 8:59 PM Subject: [filmscanners] Scanning B&W negatives with Nikon Coolscan III (LS 30) ? Does anyone have good experience scanning Tri-X or Tmax-400 with a Coolscan III ? I have just started scanning some B&W and all results have rather poor contrast (and simple auto adjust under Photoshop does not seem to quite correct for this.) Is 8 bit of dynamic range supposed to sufficient to get descent B&W prints on good paper or would I need to switch to Coolscan IV to see a difference ? If I switch to C41 B&W negatives would the result be any different (and would one need a different scanner setting (gray-scale vs color ?)
