I like this image very much Tina. the scanner has handled it well. I really 
must get some of my trannies scanned in.

Your comment about Kodachrome and b&w not scanning well is (of course) very 
true. I switched to chromogenic films in the latter years of film and now 
they scan beautifully. Vuescan can take care of the Kodachromes quite well.
