I don't seem to be able to make the boxes work right. I only get two
versions. I like the darkest one best. I'm going to post some full-sized
scans straight from the scanner in the Olympus gallery as soon as I can
get around to it. I've been working on a couple of jobs in my spare time.
I'd love to see what you can do with the original scan. I know I must be
introducing the artifacts in the way I'm processing them. For scanning,
I'm using Vuescan, scanning in B&W with 2 exposures in Fine Mode which is
what is recommended for dark negatives and mine are pretty dark. I'm
messing with them too much. The Polaroid Dust and Scratches filter
introduces some artifacts but I usually use that on a layer and just brush
out the dust and scratches.
Thanks!
