Chris,
What kind of scanner do you use to scan your 4x5 negatives?
I have both a flatbed scanner and a 35mm Nikon CoolScan III. In the final analysis, I find that I prefer to scan the print from whatever negative I use, after having done the darkroom work, rather than scanning the negative and working from there on. I feel I have better control in the darkroom over the way
I want to get my final image to look.

For some reason, I also feel that I don't want to do with the computer anything that I couldn't be able to reproduce with a light sensitive emulsion. Hmmm... I guess I must become conservative...

Cheers,

Guy

I frequently print my paper negatives by going straight to my computer, scanning the negative, inverting it, photoshopping it, and then printing it.
