I was wondering...have you tried a high-res scan with a > drum scanner or Imacon? I quite agree Ken. I would definitely want 1 - 10 high-res, professionally done, kodachrome drum scans of this work; simply to compare and trouble shoot my own future scanning. Way back when all my commercial 4x5, 120 and 35 mm drum scanned for reproduction; and as the designer using them; I was able to see the quality first hand on a regular basis. It's one of the reasons I was never truly satisfied with my own scans. I tried 4 different scanners and could never achieve the reproduction quality available on the film and achievable by a professional operator on a drum scanner. You owe to yourself, Tina, to see what's really on those kodachromes. I'm sure it would help you in your own scanning process.
