You're very welcome.
I admire you're work.
Do you work mostly with film and if so how do you scan your prints...? My scanner is either terrible or i'm doing something wrong.

Many many thanks for your compliment!
85% of my gallery is film. I scan my negative using a flat bed scanner when I have the time to do it. Or I ask a shop to do it for me (when I have plenty to scan). I advice you to scan using the tiff format for better quality.
Good luck!!

Thanks
Sorry if i'm asking too many questions but i just haven't been pleased with any of my scanned prints. I usually scan from the contact sheet with an average scanner at about 4800 DPI, is that a pretty low resolution or about right? I've used tiff format and i still find a lot of loss in detail.
Is the scanner you use made specifically for scanning negatives or for photography purposes in general or is it just your standard type scanner.
sorry, i don't know alot about this stuff and i love to shoot film and share it on DA but i feel that the scans don't do the prints justice.

I don't know many things too.
However, 4800 dpi for a scan seems OK to me, but i don't know for contact sheets as I don't use them or look at them at all. Are they smaller than a film frame? I believe so. It's normal that you lose some details then.
The one I use is not made specifically for scanning films but it comes with accessories allowing to scan films, slides, radiographies... (lamp, support... etc...). Of course, you could invest in a negative scan but this is quite some money... I would rather ask your photo store to scan them for you (about $5/film if you ask for jpeg).
Good luck!!

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
I think i probably just need to invest in a better scanner or have them scanned professionally as you suggested.
Thanks again!
