> do you scan 2 perf 35mm too ???
2-perf, 3-perf and 4-perf; and it is 'windowed' or 'cropped' so the resolution will be lower for 2/3-perf.


> cleaning neg before ? for dust and scratch (liquid gate ?) 
The new HDR Cintel II does not have a wet gate, and most scanners do not. The Northlight does not, Lasergraphics no, and even boutique high-end archival scanners like the Kinetta don't either to my knowledge. And with the digital tools available today you really don't need the hazardous, environmentally contaminating chemicals laying around. I personally won't touch any client's negative except to thread it through the transport and rewind it at the end of scanning, unless I need to add head/tail leader that is. I plan to take videos of this process to ensure you can see what I do and know that any defects were not caused by my setup. After you get the scan back, Davinci and other specialized plugins can handle any dust and scratches and the color correction tools are amazing. I plan to upload some examples in the near future. The nice thing about the Cintel is that it integrates seamlessly with Davinci via a solid, non-proprietary codec.

If this workflow does not produce good results, I will adjust and evolve.
