Then scan each one with the same specs. Look at it on your screen at true pixel to pixel size. Then make a print of each. Then you'll know for yourself what many of us learn as we learn it by doing. You've got to really be careful of the way you unsharp mask regular black and white film. You've got to keep the settings low, most of them. There is a learning curve on that. I will sharpen some parts of the image more than others. Make selections. Which Deadman were still around.
