Re: [APML] Scanning from negative. False delusion?

[Herm <hermperez@worldnet.att.net>]

Perhaps if the negative was printed very well it would do better than a
scan, was it a small or large print?..

I have some family pictures that are very low quality, scanning a machine
made print yields better results than me scanning the negative directly..
that must be a very good photo printing machine.

I get much better results scanning my own astro negatives, photo shops
don't know how to handle our subjects.
