sandwiching negatives- any tips?

<p>This might not really belong here, but seems like lots of you have scanner knowledge so I'll give it a go!<br>

I started experimenting yesterday with overlaying negatives and scanning them with my cheapy film scanner. I like the effect, but I wish I could get the color a bit more realistic and less grainy. I played with all the color controls in the scanner software, but still very blue, grainy, and blown out in spots.<br>

Any suggestions for doing this better? I'm kind of obsessing over it :) Thanks!</p><div>00XMV7-284219584.jpg.0d98de84b99a2cc45e656a608d8b419c.jpg</div>

<p>Why would that be cheating?</p>

<p>And why not as random? When you put to negatives on top of each other, you can see how they combine within the frame.<br />When you put them through the scanner separately, you will have to wait to see how they combine when stacking them later.</p>

<p>Re the quality issues: your scanner probably has difficulty dealing with the double densities. The graininess could well be scanner noise. Etc.</p>

<p>Now if you would scan the images separateley... ;-)</p>
