Roman... Thank you for the to the point reply...It is obvious to me that you
know WTH you are talking about and understand the realities of the real world
photographic industry.... I agree that modern color films are miracle
products... It seems to me that the best thing that can happen is for the film
and/orscanner manufacturers to recognize that user scanning is a growing trend
(especially among pro photogs) and maybe supply us with some MUCH better
software (tip of the hat to Ed H.), as well as individual film profiles... Fact
is, I make my living off my shooting time, not my time spent fiddling with a
scanner... I bought a scanner to see if I can't improve the product I am able
to hand my clients.
