[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 29146, member: 33"]In another thread I said that scanned copies of photographs are generally better for editing and viewing details than photographed copies are. At least, I think they are... here is an experimental comparison, using a faded cabinet photo from my collection. These have been cropped, and somewhat sharpened. The same edit was done on all. Maybe others will not see the difference that I do... but we'll see. Scanned: [ATTACH=full]7249[/ATTACH] Photographed: [ATTACH=full]7250[/ATTACH] And another photograph that turned out more at an angle: [ATTACH=full]7251[/ATTACH] The photographed ones were taken under incandescent light with no flash, and that does make a difference in the darkness of the photo. I didn't have a handy way to take under flourescent. See the differences? I think the scanned one is clearer. Fig[/QUOTE]
