In some ways given you are trying to illustrate how your dilution and time handled the negative an actual digital picture of the negative may be the best option. This should be the truest representation of the negative since as I understand matters, a scanner can do things to the negative in terms of alteration without the user realising it which is an attempt to effect an improvement but only serves to mislead viewers to the extent that the negative we then see may not necessarily be the most authentic representation of that negative which detracts from this kind of analysis

I hope that makes sense


Mike
yes that does make sense.
