I need a little advice from those who work with drum scanned images. I normally do my own scanning of 4x5 trannies and B&W negatives on my flatbed Epson 4870. I had a few 8x10 B&W negatives scanned along with a couple 35mm color transparencies. I’ve heard that you will see the grain of the film in the scan but I wasn’t expecting to see so much. It is especially noticeable and undesirable in the white portions of the images and the sky. I sent these out to Westcoast Imaging who seem like quite a reputable place and they do not sharpen the images during the scan. So I am assuming what I see is normal on drum scanned images. If this is so do I need to do anything special when working them in Photoshop? That is do I need to work those areas like white highlights and sky portions of the images to reduce the grain so it won’t show up in the print or do I just work as usual and not worry about it? If I need to work those portions of the images how do you go about it? Any tips or advice is much appreciated. Thanks.
