Ok,
So the school's densitometer is wack! (Literally, if you wack it, the readings change significantly. . .it happens when you barely touch it too.) I'm assuming this isn't normal (I wouldn't know because theres no one here who's used it in **YEARS** and Photronics doesn't seem to exist anymore).
That said,
I've got access to a V750 (with the cheap included Silverfast software) and a Imacon 646.
Is there a way I could use either one of these scanners as a densitometer?
I'm thinking that I'd have to scan the image with no adjustments applied. Do I do it grayscale or color? In the case of the imacon do I do it with the film profile (TXP), Neg rgb standard, saturated, b/w standard etc.
Finally, where do I get the density reading from?
This whole film testing densitometer thing is way new to me. Any insight would be awesome!
