Re: Scanning slides

Yes, "infrared clean" in VueScan is dust and scratch removal: it uses the infrared scanning capability of scanners so equipped to detect dust and scratches. I scan with only one idea in mind: capture all the usable data. I leave all additional processing for after the scanning is completed.

Re: Scanning old negs

Hi Bob! I do/have done quite a lot of negative, transparency, and small print capture over the past thirty years using all sorts of scanners, copy camera setups, and fixtures. I still shoot film in several formats—Minox to 6x9 plus instant film prints. Here's a brief synopsis of my thoughts:

Re: Scanning old negs

I still have my M42 bellows & slide copier which I use with a SuperTak 55/2. The set up gives about 85% coverage (70mm is needed for 100%). Once it is all set up it is simply a matter of changing the slides/negs. Mostly I sit on the veranda & point the rig at the sky for the light source.

RE: Scanning old negs

One option , albeit much slower, is to use a bellows setup with a slide/negative holder. I made one up many years ago, before I bought a proper scanner, and it worked well if you could find an even light source, and your lens had very even coverage. I still have an LPL700 enlarger sitting

RE: scanning BW - easy fix for long scratches?

Some of these negatives have been handled poorly by the developers. Me... I've had 'em in sleeves untouched since 1983. But there are long horizontal scratches occasionally which must have been put there - well, it doesn't matter how they got there. Is there an easy tool which

I do it with the clone tool using a small and soft brush. I just select an area directly adjacent and clone it in. Where there are lines through the scratch, just make sure you get them aligned properly. That's easiest with CS4, which shows you the clone patch you're pasting in. Many of
