I don't argue that negs have a higher potential res prior to scanning,
but since we are speaking about CCD scanners, or scanners in general,
and what they can capture, and since neg films exhibit more grain
aliasing, I would assume that they can't exhibit that higher res when
scanned due to the issues already discussed relative to compression and
expansion of contrast levels, etc, and that is why I mentioned slide
film.  Correct me if I've misunderstood these issues.
