In this same scanning session I scanned more 35mm color negative scans, also at 4800 dpi with all image enhancement turned off. Thank you for your kind and excellent suggestions. I am getting somewhere with the CanoScan and ScanGear. I made these photos on Arista EDU 200 with my Nikon FA and 35-70mm Zoom Nikkor, by the way. Also, in my scan the barn is softer its roof slats aren’t as defined as in the Fulltone scan. As you can see, my scanner got some ghosting from the sprocket holes. In this case, I prefer the Fulltone scan. ![]() One more scan fro the CanoScan and ScanGear. 1200 pixels is big enough for every blog purpose I have.Īgain, my CanoScan and ScanGear scans are, at blog size, in the same league as the Fulltone scans. I made 1200-pixel-long copies to upload here. I’m straining at the seams of my experience here, but at 100% the Fulltone scan looks more usable to me despite its enhanced grain.īut at blog sizes, my CanoScan/ScanGear scans are great. Here’s about the same square from the Fulltone scan at 100%. Here’s a detail from my scan of the above image at 100%. The Fulltone Photo scans are all 6774 pixels long. There’s minor variability among them in length and width because ScanGear determines each image’s edges individually. ![]() At 4800 dpi, my scans turned out to be about 6800 pixels on the long edge. My scan looks good to me and I would happily use it for any of my usual purposes. I like the great detail the Fulltone scan shows in the brick foundation of the log cabin. Both scans have their positive qualities. Here’s the scan Fulltone Photo made, after I Photoshopped it to my liking. This is the scan I made that I like the most. So I looked up some online information about how to use Photoshop’s unsharp mask tool and fiddled with the settings until I liked the results. My scans were still mighty soft, but what I learned from you is that this is to be expected, and it’s what unsharp masking is for. Namely, I scanned at 4800 dpi and turned off all of the image enhancements, including unsharp masking and dust/scratch reduction, that ScanGear offers. I took much of the advice some of you gave me in my last CanoScan post. I scanned some black-and-white negatives recently with my CanoScan 9000F Mark II and the ScanGear software that came with it, and I want to share the results. ![]()
