It didn't do that much for me. I prefer taking raw scans at 48bits into Photoshop, as I feel more comfortable doing the corrections there. Maybe with greater familiarity I could do more, but at the price I'm not that willing to experiment. No, there is no way to directly scan 65mm film. It can be scanned as two sections and joined, which will work as long as you have all automatic correction turned off. * Henning J.
