Ok, im having some issues with my scanner. Namely, I can't make a sharp scan to save my life as it seems like the scanner is out of whack and not focusing nearly as close as it used to. Secondly, what the hell is going on with these weird artifacts in my image??? They are most always left to right on the frame (scan that the sample is from was rotated and yes, that is a goat's face) and are ruining my scans. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am about to get buried in shot film...
