Re: UNEP Intl Photo Comp Finals! YAY!!!! ........Oh CRAP!!

[Krishna M]

Ryan,
I see getting the negative is the one major physical hurdle you have now.  I 
am just wondering if it is possible for you to generate a negative by some 
roundabout process using your digital scanned image which I hope you might 
have located by now in your laptop.  May be, some experienced members on the 
list can suggest how to convert a digital image into a film negative.
Regards
Krishna

I just want to be the same as all the other entries! You know how authority
deals with upstarts! ;) But yes, I think the scan should be adequate. I
guess I've been coasting along happily for a while now- I needed this mess
to keep me on my toes.
Thanks much!
Cheers,
Ryan

How big is that scan? 300dpi at 8x10 or larger? If so, that should be
adequate. Copy it to a CD and send it. For insurance, you could send a 
nice
8x10 or larger inkjet pring along with the CD.
Oh, and congratulations!
