Thanks fellas. I'll have to confess that it was pulled from the archives, taken about 20 yrs. ago.
Alabama Hills, near Lone Pine, California. 4x5 Linhof Master Technika, Ilford HP5+ film.
I hope you didn't get drenched. Nice one! :DQuote:

A quick question. The images I have posted on these forums do not really look much like the originals, they seem blurred, they have dust marks, and have lost tonal range. I am using a HP 4850 flatbed scanner and scanning mounted prints. I know there is a better way but do not know what that is. Would someone direct me to a thread on these forums discussing it or steer me in the right direction please.
Scott, any time you copy something you will suffer degradation, especially between very different media such as silver-based photographs and digital capture. That's one of the reasons that digital photos look so good in the magazines and web pages - they are direct digital copies of the original capture, whereas "real" photographs have to go through a significant extra step in the scanning process. With judicious Photoshop manipulation you can work around some of the degradation, but even the most expensive drum scan will be a mere approximation of the original. That's life!
