Re: filmscanners: neg conversion

["Dave King" <kingphoto@mindspring.com>]

I'm only guessing, but I think with an accurate conversion and the
same basic process applied individual film qualities could be
preserved, more or less.  Depends how itchy your Photoshop trigger
finger gets too:)  I find that once I'm in Photoshop I'm just going
for the best overall correction I can muster, and that is determined
by style or sensibility or what ever you want to call it.  In
Photoshop you can make Astia look like Velvia if you want to.
