digitaldog Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 <p>Are you applying capture sharpening?

Matt Laur Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 <p>It will help if you mention how you're scanning, using what equipment, at what resolution, etc. You may not be losing details, but not actually collecting them in the first place.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilangles Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 <p>I have a Canon scanner and I use the input scan method. I have problems with the color quality and sharpness. Pictures that I have processed and scanned as a print vs a negative have much better contrast, detail, sharpness, etc.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lornesunley Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 <p>Do you get a CD of the scan done by the commercial lab? If you are using a Canon flatbed scanner it will not do as good a job of scanning as the commercial scanners used by the photo labs,</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 <p>Which Canon scanner ( I have a Canonscan 5600F) and what settings are you using? Also what size film? 35mm, medium format or large format? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
