JCO, Thanks for the tip. I'm hoping that it will work well for me. I can't stand not being able to scan my 67 stuff and I just can't afford or justify one of the film scanners at this point. Your tip, along with others I have read will give me more ways to improve my scanning success. I'll keep you posted as to how it goes.
