RE: Digital b/w negs

Good morning Andy, Don't forget if your not shooting with a digital camera, 
you have the cost of a scan, if your a detail person and have a big blow up 
you want a drum scan. Plus the price of a hi res. (80) res.LVT or the 
equivalent out put neg. What I don't like about this approach you lose the 
ability to adjust, in photo shop, your tonality, and usm (unsharp masking) 
With this approach you want to calibrate your print paper (grade) with gray 
scale keeping the vairables locked in, time, temp, developer, em. number 
etc. Then have your lab. do a profile for your print conditions. Make sure 
your lab is using 100asa t-max.
Sincerly, Art Kerbs

Hi Judy:

I didn't see a source for a $70 8x10.  Do you know where that provider is
located?

Thanks,

Andy
