Yep. Ouch. >>>>>>>>>>>> can't do it with anti-newton ring slide holders because the anti-newton device results in an even more grainy result that looks like the scanner was covered with sand when it was scanning. <<<<<<<<<<<< Make a mask (heavy paper or plastic) with a cutout the size of the frame that sits on the lower (nearest the scanner lens) glass. Use anti-Newton glass for the upper (nearest the scanner light source) glass. The idea is that the scanner lens/CCD should be looking through either clear glass or no glass, and the anti-Newton glass should press the film onto a 4-sided frame. This won't work for perversely warped frames, but will be fine for most. The anti-Newton glass holder for my scanner (Nikon 8000) only has anti-Newton on the top glass. They think that the unevenness in the film emulsion should prevent Newton rings most of the time. Wrong. But they knew they were wrong and provide masks<g>. (Actually, I cut my own masks because the masks they provide only mask one frame.) David J.
