The postwork in the larger files was straight forward...in Paint Shop Pro (v.X=10)After scanning and saving to RGB file, I first used the clone tool to bust the dust, then I used the clarify button a couple times, which punches up the contrast, then clicked the unsharp mask button a few times, added the text last before saving to jpg. I went back and did the same to the filmstrip before posting for comparison side by side. The density of each neg was not changed.
