Old Celluloid

Scanning Old Negatives?

I've been scanning an old B&W negative on an ordinary scanner, via Scangear in Photoshop 7, then using P7's 'Inversion' option. This produces the most amazing results, to me better than conventional printing. The negs are about 90 years old, large thick celluloid. Has anyone comments or suggestions for improving these results even more?

you mention ordinary scanner, with or without, overhead lamp for scanning negatives,

if you use scanner without back light,
then you would want to setup diffused tube lamp over negatives and rescan,
keep lamp or lights away from film, as they can melt from heat,

if you do have negative scanner with lamp, then scan in color anyways,
some details do not capture in grayscale mode, and view scan option for kodak. fuji. etc
and find optimum setting for these type of negatives,
