How "untwist" film before scanning?
LVV45 says:
I'm pretty new on analog photography and just got some rolls from the lab and I was wondering how do I "untwist" them since it's so annoying to scan on its default state.

What do you mean by "untwist"? Are they curling?

Well, since english is not my first language, some words can be tricky for me... |

my old films (15yo) could not be un-twisted. They remained curly. I put them in archival sheet and bend opposite around a cylinder (around 10cm diameter) fix there, and left for 2 month... Guess what ... they remained curly. Curly negatives produce newton rings on flat scanners and loss sharpness. See may recent post, I've got an alternative way of dealing with it.
