I haven't tried scanning film, but when I did scanning of old stamps, I found that a very thin sheet of high quality glass works wonders in flattening the subject matter - regards

Last night I hooked up a new Epson Perfection 2450, so that I could scan my 67 film. Everything went together flawlessly and all the software worked (ViewScan & PaintShop Pro). My big problem is with film flatness and focus. My scans are incredibly soft. I looked at the holder and found that film can have a mind of its own (not laying flat). I even tried just laying the film directly on the bed, but since nothing presses against it, the film was not much flatter. Those of you who scan 120 film - how do you do it? Do you have issues with film flatness? Is there something else I have failed to do? Thanks for any of your ideas, Bruce Dayton - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
