Dear /p/,

What is the right way to scan 35mm negatives? I took this set to Wal-Mart and they turned out like shit. (I know, no surprise there, but I wanted to try the cheapest option first and see if it was bearable.)

You stick it on a film scanner, and you scan it. The end. Scan as flat as possible if it's a shit scanner, and then adjust the exposure in post processing. Oh, and get the colour curves right the first time.

btw, what the fuck kind of question is this? There's not 100 ways to scan a neg.

Yeah, that's right, I'm a cunt for having a modicum of common sense.

I think what he meant was "are there any good places to have 35mm negatives scanned because I can't afford a $3000 negative scanner."

Again, anyone with half a clue would realise that there's going to be places that do better jobs than others. Anyone should know Wal-Mart's not going to be at the top of the pile when it comes to operator smarts and highest quality.

Scans 120 film as well, you can scan direct from vuescan, photochop, xsane or quiteinsane without having to use the shit canon software, and it works on windows, mac and linux.

Also, 200 bux.
