Re: Sheryll scanning advice

[Terry <terry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is just a thought, if you take the negs to Wal-Mart you might ask then 
if they will give you the scans from the proofs, I know in my area if I 
where to take film into Wal-Mart (something I never do with pro work) and 
ask for one hour proofs they scan every neg and print it digitally.
