Tony: FYI... in regards to getting trannies made from scans... I ran into a
photog
here in Salt Lake who is in the high dollar super photo collage game... you know
the shots of earth and computers and suns and stars, etc. that get used in
annual
reports and high tech ads.. this guy makes well into six figures making these
images up for stock (he's represented by the Image Bank) and he sold me his 4x5
enlarger cuz he was going totally digital, I asked him how he overcame the bias
toward photographer generated scans and he said he has trannies made from his
files...
He may not tell the AD's where that 4x5 trannie really came from...
