I also like to to capture as much information as possible edit it with Photoshop. But more than just not clipping or not sharpening. Which is why I did real well last time I scanned with raw scans. I had more juice to work with. Example http://rabinergroup.com/ImagePages/Laterellefallspage.html Last time I scanned this Hassy neg I did not get all the white stuff by far. Verichrome pan in Beutlers. But maybe your right its no big deal as I don't hear to many people talking about it other than me. Maybe I made the whole thing up! Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com
