Photo Reproduction

[Keith Webb]

I'd agree with you there to a point, Roger. There is still more information in a neg than most digital cameras can produce although that is rapidly changing.

I went through my old negatives some time ago and photographed them on a lightbox using my Nikon digital camera with a macro lens, so the digital "negs" are 1:1 size. I then inverted and adjusted them in Photoshop and the results are far better than I could ever print them (but not as well as my wife could print them)

Here's an example:
