Film Scanner
I have a new film scanner, and I’m trying it out on some old stuff until I get more film in the mail to shoot. I recently found my long lost film camera, and I missed it dearly, so I expect to be shoot much more film in the future. Esp. of note is that this new one is flatbed, and thus I can scan around the edges of the frame, using roughly the methods described here. I haven’t exactly figured out how to completely eliminate Newton Rings, but they’re pretty small at this point, so they’re usually easy enough to clone out.
On an interesting side-note, I also found a post on a blog I read that suggests a good method for using Automator to import photos into Aperture when I scan them initially into Photoshop (since Aperture doesn’t allow for importing from a scanner). That helpful tip can be found here.
