Guillermo,
This is the first time I see these pictures of color ZP. As I had said earlier
on this list, I am generally not found of color ZP because I find it is very
difficult to acheive a nice blending of colors. But, whaooo! These are really
nice. My preference goes to "Invernadero" which has the feel of the early
Autochrome color process.

As regards the scanner question, I own a Nikon coolscan (35mm) and a flatbed
ScanMaker E6 and 3 times out of 4 when scanning color, I prefer the results I
get from scanning a print than scanning directly from the negative. For some
reason, I seem to get much better control over the color
balance/contrast/saturation from the flatbed scanner than from the
transparency/negative scanner. Of course, for anything larger than 35mm, I
don't have the choice but to use a print scanned on the flatbed scanner.

Best,

Guy Glorieux
