shows through at the sides of the negative film. You can allow a light gap at
the top and bottom of a negative, but light that shows at the sides may cause
the image to be overexposed. If you are scanning a negative that won't fit any
of the film guides, create a mask for it from opaque materials to prevent light
from leaking through at the sides of the negative.
Shutter strips
To avoid overexposure when scanning
