Subject: Re: [Leica] Help printing scanned Leica negatives!
From: "Dan Post" <dwpost@email.msn.com>

Okay- the only on topic thing here is that I am using a Leica negative....
I am testing a Scan Multi for a friend, and the screen images are super, no
problem, and seem 'perfect'- save for those (*@$^#(&* dust spots!
When I try to print the image, there are areas, like shadows and the
subject's hair, that look 'blotchy', like a broad brush was used and there
is no detail whatsoever.
I scanned into both Microsoft Photo Editor, and Photoshop, and got the same
result on the Photo 700, so I am inclined to think I am overlooking
something in the print setup. I am using the same printer settings that I
used for prints scanned with the flatbed, but the output is quite different.
It is as if the image is peing printed with a limited palette.
Any help would be grteatly appreciated!
