I get far sharper scans out of my Epson 4990 when I put the chrome in the holder image up and then flip it over in Photoshop. I speculate the middle of the chrome bows up and by putting it in the supposed wrong way, gravity flattens it out.
I am wondering if there is any downside (pardon the pun) to putting the emulsion side the wrong way in the scanner. I have not noticed anything, but was wondering if it might affect contrast, color, etc.
