The two images I shared were from the same roll of film. After a preview scan I could see the image in the portrait shot. In the landscape image all I could see were two horizontal spaces, one black, one white. Only after playing with the histogram could I see that it was a landscape and what it was a shot of. The portrait was scanned at 600 psi. The landscape at 3200 psi. I believe the settings were otherwise the same for both images. Graininess begins to show up in the portrait after it is enlarged significantly. It shows up much more quickly in the landscape. Why? Is there any hope of getting a scan of the landscape that would not be so grainy? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net "Imagining the other is a powerful antidote to fanaticism and hatred." - Amos Oz -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
