Get your stuff developed and scanned (in one go, like as a package) by a shop, using the bestest quality option you can afford (highest resolution, ideally un-compressed files), this will give you better files than scanning at home, stuff is usually auto-corrected (helping with bad exposure, to a degree) unless you ask them to not do this.
You can get good quality scans at home as well, but long story short:
- it's a tedious process, a pain in the ass, really, trust me
- you need a proper, dedicated 35mm scanner or a really good flatbed scanner
- you need proper (expensive) software like Silverfast to get somewhat close to the quality the shops can deliver with their (way better) scanners
- it's a tedious process, a pain in the ass, really, trust me

Hi, does anyone on here have a recommendation for a neg scanner? Have seen some cheap ones, Veho for example, on ebay but no idea of the quality/capability. Scanning services are fine but don't appear to account for exposure (user competence maybe?) variability. Never likely to print much bigger than A5.
