First off, a very very Happy New Year to all of you from Sydney (Australia)... I didn't know old
film will block up the highlights... I just thought that it was a quality of the film (that it didn't handle
highlights too well... :)
Anyway, there is plenty of detail in the scan in his teeth, although the
shirt is rather badly burnt out...
It seems to get worse when I downsample things for the gallery too... I'm
using photoshop and saving for the web... the original scan is somewhat large
(5888 x 4000 pigs) and I ask it to save down to about 53k
I also noticed on the Gallery that the background has severe artifacts...
don't know if there was a problem with the web-server or maybe my submission
could be done better. Any tips and tricks anyone, on how to save images down and
maintain optimal res, or is it just a point and shoot thing?
