I haven't seen this entire thread so this may have been mentioned already, but I'm wondering if sharpening techniques are recommended for pictures scanned from negatives. I'm using a Nikon F3 with a variety of Nikon lenses and a Nikon CoolScan V ED scanner for digital conversion.
In my opinion, yes, definitely; probably even more than digital original captures. (I wore out an LS-2000 and now use a Super Coolscan 5000 ED; nearly entirely on old slides and negatives.)
For that matter, since I'm still pretty new to this process I'm happy to receive any general advice for maximizing the quality of images scanned through a dedicated 35mm scanner that is not a flatbed.
Scan to capture information (avoid clipping either end of the scale, etc.). Make it look good later in Photoshop. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
