Check out this thread on how to expose your scans: [Setting Global Exposure Using The Film Leader](https://forums.negativelabpro.com/t/setting-global-exposure-using-the-film-leader/1792)

Negatives can vary greatly depending on how the shots were measured, taken and developed. Exposing to the right off a piece of unexposed film should make sure that highlights are not blown, meaning that dark areas (after conversion) keep details that could otherwise be destroyed.
