These images look very fine grained for 35mm!
The sax player is FP4 film and the landscape is Panatomic-X.
It is worth reading up on Grain Aliasing. Low resolution, whether in traditional printing or this digitizing, can make grain appear coarser.
So, as far as I understand, you don't bother with linear workflow, you simply invert the DNG and tweak the levels/curves?
Yup. No two negs are identical anyway. The black and white points vary a lot. And sometimes you do want areas of solid black (very rarely areas of solid white).
I used to have an Acer scanwit film scanner. The grain was terrible. I tried everything including replacing the scanning software but the results were awful. ISO 100 colour neg scanned like it was like ISO 10,000,000. Saw a review of the scanner that said this was because of grain aliasing, the native resolution was perfect for aliasing neg film. Slides were a little better but I get better results with a slide copier and a digital camera.
"Scanwit" sounds like a good insult. "You are just acting like a scanwit."
Certainly was a weird name. Far eastern companies do have a tendency to come up with names that sound a bit weird in English. I always wonder who dreamt up the "Coolpix" moniker. Really?
