Robert ffffffffffttttk, yeah, scanning at 4000 dpi. GEM is a "technology" licensed from the company that does ICE. I'm not sure whether it's software or hardware or a mix of the two based *shrug*
Trius, I wouldn't say best, there were a couple others that are very good and far better, especialy for beginners.. this one just happens to cover some more advanced techniques and musings 🙂
Taking Willie's info there is good: especially the part about not touching the software handling. There was a "super advanced" workflow handling a technique for color negative film, I haven't tried it on b&w yet, but it does lead to good results. Basically, you find out what the film-base-color is, and rather than using curves or software, you set the analog gains to the corresponding ratios, thereby minimizing any software compensation for color and just using the scanner itself. It's led to good results for me, but I've no qualifications to say whether results are better with software or with the hardware color adjustments.
Ultimately, though, looks like there's no easy answer to this. *shrug* Well.. maybe ditching 35mm and just shooting MF or larger 😀
