being new to this group and digital (darkroom guy), i am looking for a
way to scan 4x5inch and 6x9cm negatives.
and being able to print at 400 dpi. if i have the math correct on a
4x5 i need to scan at 1600 dpi (optical) to print a 16x20
(400*16/4). can i use a 600 dpi scanner by projecting the 4x5 negative
to 10.7x13.4 onto the face plate of the scanner
(400*16/10.7)? has anyone done this?

does anyone know where i could get software which can deal with a
negative and its orange mask?
