Hello- long time lurker, first-time poster.
Been experimenting with film photography lately. However, it seems like a film pic scanned into a jpeg file (at least when I do it) is never anywhere close to the quality of the same picture with a digital camera to begin with. My prints scans are often flat, or contain speckles and things. However, I often see shots posted on this forum and elsewhere that were film prints scanned in, and they look great. I have to believe it's not just hours spent with Photoshop.
I think I have a fairly good flatbed scanner. Does anyone have any basic suggestions for scanning prints? Resolution, settings, or other tips? Thanks.
