[filmscanners] Re: Postprocessing - Resizing for screen display

["Arthur Entlich" <artistik@shaw.ca>]

I had the same impression as you did, that the issue was getting a good
screen image from an original digital image.

I asked if the person's wife was using an LCD screen and if so, if the
image had been set to the monitor's native resolution, but I have never
heard any further feedback, so I didn't delve any further into it.

I'm sure some people find tails quite attractive, even between someone's
legs (No, I'm not going there....;-)) but I don't think you need to be
tough on yourself, because the impression I was left with was that the
O.P. was asking about screen images.
