Can you make a BW print off a negative using >scanner and printer? Yes, definitely! Bill, is this sort of a follow-up on the Ilford HP5+ question I raised? I now do ALL my B&W, both silver and C-41, by way of scanning from a negative, with what I think are excellent results. And that ALL includes post-processing the image, sometimes in the scanner, sometimes in PhotoShop, and printing. My problem, as I mentioned, has been getting my scanner software settings "right" for Ilford film. I'm obviously missing something, but I'm going to try again tonight, with some of the tips I've gotten from this list. Ken -- The Rev.
