Thanks Don. That made me feel good, and right now, I needed that.

I wish I could tell exactly how I do it. I think it helps if I get
questions and then I can field them.

Basically I

1) Get the exposure right
2) Have my processing times nailed down
3) Agitate a lot and consistently (a JOBO would take care of this
point, even if I don't have one.)

And ... I have put a lot of effort into scanning. I try and get my
scans right where I want them. That usually doesn't take much effort
because if 1 and 2 are ok above, then they tend to fit right in withat
the "norms".

I used to be a good printer, now I'm a decent scanner and digital
printer (though I just signed up as a partner in a darkroom in town. I
have one at home, but I want the company of a small group).
