Noise within scanned image.

[acearchie]

Hi guys,

I was looking for some help at improving my images.

I have been shooting 120 film myself, then developing and then scanning.

I have a canoscan 8800f and there is a 100% crop attached.

As you can see the image is quite noisy... I believe it is noise and not grain.

I was wondering, do you think this is a limitation of my scanner, developing and perhaps even photo taking.

It was scanned at 125% at 1200dpi through silverfast!

Thanks

Flatbed scanners always seem to be lagging with film scans. The best way to figure out if this is the scanner is to have a photo shop scan one on their dedicated film scanner and see what the difference is.

Here is a link to a Flickr group discussing scanning film with the Canon you have.

I use VueScan with my Epson V700, and have noticed that a lot of such noise is reduced when I set VueScan to take one pass with the infrared filter.
