Re: [APML] Back to a film image-Rho Ophiuchus

[John Laborde <jlaborde@ix.netcom.com>]

Hi Ray,

Well I didn't mean scarp as in toss out but instead just not spend any 
time trying to process them. Actually I have film images going way back 
that I felt this way about but as processing software and my skills 
improve, I have reconsidered bring some of them back from the brink. 
This could keep me busy long after film dies for good.
