OK, I got the BZTS software, step wedges and a densitometer and am about to start film testing and have some questions. Since I plan on scanning the negs instead of printing them, are there any adjustments that need to be made in the process?
For example, is there a way to use a step wedge (I have both the 21 step and the 31 step) to determine the ES of the scanner, like you would with different brands of paper?
Do I need to make any adjustments to the G-Bar values since I am scanning as opposed to printing?
Does ViewScan do a better job as scanning BW negs than Silverfast?
Is it a problem that when scanning the 31 step wedge, everything goes to black after about step 26?
Any other tips on nailing a scanning workflow down using BZTS, the densitometer and the step wedges?
As usual, I have all the tools but not enough knowledge...
Thanks in advance,
