Re: filmscanners: Digital vs Conventional Chemical Darkroom



I would defer to Tony. When I said "Different," I didn't mean to imply that 
"Different" is either better or worse, because it's not. It is merely "Not 
Exactly the Same." I have gotten far better pictures from scanning 
underexposed Tri-X than I got in a conventional darkroom. By the same token, 
I've gotten terrible scans from film that a Service had no problem with. 
Most people learn to deal with these differences readily--but not without 
some hard work.

This list is a far better place to learn the information than the magazines, 
I've found. We're doing it, and they're only writing about it. ;-)

Best regards--LRA
