I looked at your images, Doug, and the background grays, some just like the
ones I had trouble with--beyond the depth of field and fading into the sky--
are certainly nice and clean. Very nice.
Can you make a few comments about your film, film format, scanner, and image
processing technique (e.g., 16-bit or 8-bit to Photoshop? have you
encountered the same problem I was referring to, etc.)
Thanks,
