Hello,
I'm very happy because I finally made my film scanner work.
I have an older Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner.
I just installed Vuescan 8.6.50 and I finally was able to start scanning 35mm negatives.
That's the good part. Now I have tons of questions:
Due to my careless way of storing negatives for decades most need attention. Most have dust.
Some look like "wet or sticky" for lack of a better description. Not sure if it is the emulsion damaged or what.
So the first question is: Can negatives be cleaned? If so, How?
Does vuescan has something like ICE or similar process to deal with dust or imperfections?
Any advise on how to proceed? Any tips? I know it is quite broad but I have no idea where to start.
I have tons and tons of negatives I'd love to scan. I think I have just embarked in a lifelong or at least a very long journey....
Thanks,
