Question Ken: how can you tell how I've scanned? Seems like magic. The color pictures I did not scan, but took the film (Fujicolor 1600) to a local lab that gave me scans on a disk. The B & W I just scanned on my Epson 4490 flatbed scanner with the image type set to 16-bit grayscale. The scanner scans negatives but I have not done that yet. That is the task for this weekend. I will see if I can scan a negative and then make a print (I guess they are called "printouts") that reasonably resembles a darkroom print. I do understand that expecting a really good result "out of the box" is as unreasonable as thinking that an excellent darkroom print can be made without any experience. I'll start with a negative that looked good in the darkroom straight, no burning or dodging. Ken Carney wrote > You do have to be in RGB mode, but I see that is how you have scanned > anyway.
