![]() ![]() I shrunk the scans to 1200 pixels square to upload them to the blog. Again I left all image enhancements off in ScanGear and used Photoshop to apply unsharp masking and other enhancements. This yielded images of about 5200 pixels square. ScanGear let me scan at 2400 dpi but no larger to avoid extremely large file sizes. Old School Photo Lab processed and scanned the images. Next I dug out some Kodak Ektar 100 negatives I shot in 2017 with my Yashica-D and a closeup lens attachment. Either scan is acceptable for my usual bloggy purposes. I did the best I could in Photoshop to get better colors from my scan but they just weren’t there. In this case I like the Old School Photo Lab scan better, as its colors look more true to life. Here’s another scan from this roll using the CanoScan and ScanGear. The Clack is a box camera with a simple lens that’s acceptably, but not exceptionally, sharp in the middle. I shrunk the scans to 1200 pixels long to upload them to the blog. I applied unsharp masking and other enhancements in Photoshop. I left all image enhancements off in ScanGear. This resulted in images 3968 pixels long. I scanned at 1200 dpi, the maximum ScanGear allowed to avoid enormous file sizes. Here’s a photo from that roll, scanned through the CanoScan and ScanGear. (Ektar is my go-to medium-format color film.) Old School Photo Lab processed and scanned the film. ![]() I first scanned some Kodak Ektar 100 negatives I shot last year in my Agfa Clack. ![]() I might shoot my TLRs, folders, and boxes more often. If I can get credible scans from the CanoScan without too much fuss it would cut about $5 out of that equation. A roll of 35mm yields 24 or 26 images, while a roll of 120 or 620 yields only eight or 12. Every lab I use charges about the same to process and scan both medium format and 35mm, around $17 shipped. I’d shoot more medium format if it weren’t so expensive per frame to get scans. I’m experimenting with scanning medium-format color negatives in my CanoScan 9000F. ![]()
