DIY Epson Flatbed Scanning Holder - Buh Bye Newton's Rings! - Large Format Friday

Today I'm tackling my biggest fear in working with large format, scanning color sheet film! Borrowing the sage advice of Ben Horne as well as a few other resources, I'm setting out to rid my color scans from Newton's Rings once and for all. Follow along as I take you through the process of: measuring your Epson flatbed scanner's optimal height, making a DIY scanning holder (I'm making an 8x10" one), and going through the scans to check for those pesky Newton's Rings.

It can't possibly be as easy as raising the film up off of the scanner glass, right? Right?!
