| You are right, Slobodan.  Most of what interests me, therefore most of
what

happening

I,m still wrestling with scanning so beforehand sorry for idiotic
questions.But do you feel that hi rez scanning sometimes makes low light
exposed film more grainy?I wondered if you scan low rez if you ever see
the grain .
