I'm definitely not one of the elderly members, but I am in training :-) I scanned a heap of family photos for my father some time ago. Most taken in the late 40's early 50's and I must say none of them looked like that. Here's an example: http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/Misc/DG_001.jpg (My

No, no, if you shoot BW you make a great darkroom print then scan that for web images. If you are going to scan the negative and make digital prints you lose the benefits of the analog process and might as well start with a digital image in the first place. graywolf

Except for the fact that scanning the neg and editing typically gives FAR better results than scanning a print. Prints typically result in somewhat poor images without much work. But I print digitally too. A nice matte fibre print is much less hassle that way (cheaper too). No 1hr washes.
