[filmscanners] RE: dynamic range discussion

["Austin Franklin" <darkroom@ix.netcom.com>]

This discussion WAS, at one time, about scanning.  I have tried to keep it
about scanning, as well as have a few others.  This "topic" IS directly
related to scanning, and is, in my opinion, and important aspect of film,
film scanning, digital image manipulation and printing.  Unfortunately, for
this list, and the other lists that this discussion has been discussed on,
the discussion has diverged to many other things, losing sight of film
scanning.  It's really too bad, because there are some people here who are
very qualified to discuss this as it relates to scanners, and there are
people here who want to understand it, as it relates to scanners.
