Also, I heard somewhere that Portra was designed by Kodak to be easy to scan
for digital prints. If you are scanning a Portra negative for a regular ink
jet print, you would still have to invert it somewhere along the way, or
the scanner would. So why not for four color separations? My pre-press guy
uses a real high tech scanner (but gives students a good deal) so the
scanner is not an issue. I had good luck scanning portra negatives on a flat
bed scanner too, though, in the past.
