I just got a new Epson V500 and have tested it out with some 35mm film I shot using an XA, Rollei 35S, and Nikon FE on a couple different films. Below are some scans of images straight from the V500, and then edited in PS (auto tone/color/contrast, curves, levels, brightness/contrast). USM, ICE, and grain reduction was turned on, 48-bit, 4800 dpi.
I have trouble getting pure black, and see lots of "fuzz". Will ANR glass help with the "fuzz" I am seeing (fuzz is most noticable in the sky and dark shadow areas it seems). Also, are my basic PS tweaks the correct ones? I tend to mess around until the image looks better, but I dont know im going about it the right way, or if there is something I am missing. Let me know what you guys think! The second image is the one edited in PS.
