What the heck does that mean? That's a pretty strongly qualified statement, Rob. I have NEVER seen a scanner that didn't, in some way, reduce the quality of the original negative. If it didn't, why would there be a need to sharpen the results, or to adjust color to make the scan look like the slide or the print, or adjust curves. There is more to making a photograph than just contrast and color. Even if the results through all the manipulation are excellent, it just seems odd to go through what seems like a series of destructive and reconstructive steps only to end up back where you started.
