Shel : When I said I was amazed at the quality, what I meant was I am amazed
at the quality considering I am just shooting the negs with a digital camera
and inverting them in PS. I recognize that using a scanner would be a
significant improvement but for a quick and dirty grab of these shots using
a non conventional capture device for this purpose, the quality is pretty
damn good.

I only looked at six pics, and to my eye, the quality is terrible,
especially for 4x5 negatives. Sorry, not at all impressed.
