How to scan negative film effectively?

To scan negative film effectively, use a dedicated film scanner or a flatbed scanner with a film scanning attachment. Make sure the film is clean and free of dust and scratches. Adjust the scanner settings to the film type (color or black and white) and resolution. Scan at a high resolution for better quality. Use scanning software to adjust brightness, contrast, and color balance as needed. Save the scanned images in a high-quality file format like TIFF or RAW for editing and printing.
