Bill, This is a pretty good suggestion. My home-made copy stand is actually a modified enlarger. There is already a "ruler" on the enlarger upright, so generating a exposure table based on the height of the camera would not be difficult. Cropping in not really a problem. Most of these images are used for web page presentation so they are usually reduce anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.
