Half Frame and Digital   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #252 of 613 |
Hello,

I wonder what people think about half frame with digital scanning and
printing. Here's what I'm beginning to conclude after getting a scanner:

--By scanning and then enlarging, even on screen, I've become more
satisfied with my hf photography. I see more of what I think I was
aiming to get when I took the picture. Before, I had to get an
enlargement made and that wasn't always easy to do.

--HF photos look awfully good on a computer screen. Maybe I'm missing
something, but if you're going to look at your pictures on screen, how
much more do you need?

--Really good scanning makes it possible to make really good prints on
a home inkjet printer (what I can do at home is ok but not "really
good", but there's a lab in North Dakota that does a great job on hf
scans).

I haven't been subscribing to "The Half Framer" for a while; maybe
this topic has been dealt with there. Anyway, I wonder about the
experience of other people in the group who have been at the scanning
etc. business longer than I have. As you can tell, it's been really
helpful for me.

Obviously it is difficult to generalise about the quality of scanners for half-frame as it depends a lot on the particular scanner, film, printer combination. ...
