I finally found a good lab that does the scanning itself, instead of sending away. If I have the film scanned at the same time its processed, they'll do it for 63 cents a frame (actually 73 cents, when you count the $10 cd that will hold 100 images). The results are superb. I have heard many horror stories of inept photo labs in regards to Photo CD scanning, with misregistered frames or dust spots galore. Out of my roll of 34 (with Ilford XP2), one picture had one single dust spot. The tonal range was very good. The lab did a great job at keeping the shadows and highlights within a range where I could adjust to my heart's content. That said, I've got to be in the market for a scanner now, so I can do this myself. At just over $25 per roll for scanning alone, it won't take too many rolls to buy a scanner. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo!
