It looks pretty clean to me. Again, looking at things at 100% mag in Photoshop vs. web, or even an inkjet print can be very different. Print it out and see if you like it! There may be some "grain clumping" in the sky and that is a known problem with scanning in general. My brief test with a Minolta Elite 5400 does show that it is slightly better than the Nikon when scanning large patch of gray, but the difference is small. Try running some noise reduction filter on it and see if it improves. Really though, to me the picture is just fine as it is, and as usual from you, excellent. You just consistently produce pictures that are oh-so-nice. I wish I have your eyes. At 01:18 PM 2/28/2006, GeeBee wrote: >... >but I am really haviing to work at b&w.
