how do you tell which is the emulsion side of a neg? Is it always the side with the writing mirrored?

Look at the numbers along the edge. If you can read these border numbers , you are looking at the base side . If the number appear backwards , you are looking at the emulsion side.

Non-emulsion side is also much shinier (if there is such a word ).

The emulsion side is on the opposite face to the base.

I am now into this stuff,and can quite happily scan away using Vuescan and setting the output at prescan is making life easier.I have taught myself using a print from Peak Imaging of a Neopan C41 neg,and ive scanned it and printed it myself to compare.

Using max res scan,2900,then max print dpi,2880,they are no discernable diffs res wise,i'm quite happy to put them in the album,however,i'm getting a green colour cast when printing.Is this because i'm using premium glossy paper which should be used for colour prints?
