I have now been forced to "see" what a negative will produce even before it's printed or scanned - i forced myself to do this precisely because I was tired of the horrible one hour mini-lab 4 x5 prints i was getting back. So a year ago i stopped getting batch prints but take my C41 to a "pro-lab" for negative only for $3 processing and then on the light table select those which are worthy of scanning. That which I save i put towards ink and paper and more film. Again it's weird but my doing more digital has actually spurred me onto doing more traditional as well. ernie On Sunday, January 5, 2003, at 12:43 AM, David Rodgers wrote: > Ernie, > >>> from the world of amateurs I have found that I shoot way too many >>> digital images and do not do proper editing whereas when I shoot >>> traditional I am selective as which frames i scan.<< > > It's also a lot faster to sit down at a light table and visually scan > through pages of chromes, or even negs, than it is to review images on > screen.
