Or direct negative to computerr scan and then > Photoshopped into images for the WEB? They were scanned off prints. Ordinarily I print full-frame, but I was using 5 x 7 paper and printed to the edges, so it lost a bit of the negative, but otherwise got most of what was there. I scanned the prints and didn't do any adjustments or retouching, just re-sized them in PhotoShop. It was as mechanical as it got for me -- all the prints were given the precise same exposures on the same paper grade and scanned the same way. (btw. Thanks to some advice I got here, the prints were done on Ilford Warmtone and even though they were just rough draft prints, the tonal range was probably the best I've seen on an RC paper. The web images don't do anything to translate the effect (you'd need to save the images as RGB to do that), but trust me, it's beautiful paper.).
