I would suggest a different tact.
The Epson 3200 probably will not help improve your postcard scans, since
they simply don't have more than about 200 dpi resolution themselves, so
you can be sure a 800 or 1600 dpi scanner has picked up whatever they
can offer. Also, reflective work is much
I would consider things a little differently. My approach would be if
you have a small number slides to be scanned then definitely consider
using a service bureau of some sort to do it, because the slide scanner
will set you back about $300, and the learning curve can be large. The
cost per scan
In opened them in Photoshop. The first one is a TIFF the second ones
are jpegs, as I recall.

I don't think the dynamic range of chromogenic BW is nearly as great as
silver BW. Note that since both chromo and silver BW is film, it is 'wet
darkroom' until the scanning stage. Its true that 'Zone System' includes
the work done on the print itself, but the goal of Zone System printing is
to
On BW film, doing my own 'speed test' of FP4 demonstrated a dynamic range
of 11 stops of solid exposure range! Now I know paper won't render all of
them, so this is where a good scanner does come into play. The gotcha with
multiple exposure is that if the scene you are imaging has any dynamism
It's true that high quality silver-based BW film, when properly exposed and
developed, has a higher dynamic range than chromogenic BW. It's also true
that it is not a classic wet darkroom film, since it's normally developed
by a one-hour type color lab. However, based on my experience with a
Good point about the one hour type lab. I develop my own BW - though I
know of 3 good labs in town to which I send most of the color work. One of
them does excellent drum scans which I go to when I have an image I really
want to get 'right'. Still saving up for my own Imacon.
