    I scan negatives (MF to 8x10) on my Epson flatbed using wet mounting techniques. I scan at full resolution to archive and this file is never changed. All downstream use is usually a down-sampling of that "raw" file. I do make a few prints from these files, but mostly they're used to generate digital negatives for pt/pd printing. Personally, I've never scanned a finished print.

    Even with film in a holder, the scanned image will not likely be perfectly straight.
    Requiring rotation and the percentage of rotation may vary widely.

    I use Silverfast Ai Studio for the original scans.

    All scanning done in VueScan for now, intend on giving Silverfast v9 a look, I could never get in sync with v8, with Epson flatbed. I also don't do much correction in VueScan... I save most of that for my editing software...

    All editing done in Capture One or Affinity. Have done limited printing.

    Waiting on my first Large Format Negs to scan, as of yet have only scanned 35mm to 6x17... and most things in between...

    Here's my tip. Have a strong drink available when you first start doing it and lock up all firearms.
