Scanning Negatives: How to

Notes on negative scanning in the Graphix Lab
Both the Nikon Scanner and the Flatbed Epson scan negatives. (Nikon should be your first choice)

On the Epson Flatbed scanner (when scanning film), remember to:
-snap down the film trays
-cut your film (don't leave it in a big roll)
-set mode to NORMAL or professional (not thumbnail)
-make sure you choose positive or negative film
-save as a tiff with no compression

General DPI guidelines for either scanner:
for a 4x5 negative, scan at 1000 dpi
for a 35mm negative, scan at 4500 dpi
for 120 film (medium format) scan at 3000 dpi
