How to get great 35mm Film Scans with a CHEAP Epson Flatbed

Описание: I recently picked up an Epson V4990 to use for scanning 4x5 sheet film, but I wanted to spend some time with it and do some tests with 35mm film to find out what the limitations were. I've never been a huge fan of scanning 35mm with a flatbed, but unfortunately, there aren't any other affordable options out there if you want something that can do multi-format. With the proper sizing and sharpening, I found out that you can actual get some pretty decent results using this scanner, and in this video, I'm going to share my process.
