Nice...I will post some of my first ones later tonight.

I scanned a print at 1200 and a neg at 3200

the print scanned much lighter than it looks. I added back a bit of contrast so it looked great on the monitor and looked close to the physical print but when it went to flikr it got a bit darker. I printed this at a grade 3 so it is a bit contrasty.

Honestly I am not sure what this can tell you. The scan looks great and I did nothing to it in post....straight scan off of the v700 with the onboard softwear, scanned as a B+W in 48bit color then inverted to B+W in LR3. I can see some difference between the two but the diffeence is very noticable when it is in your hand!

Great shot... the print is better, but I imagine with so photoshop you could get a very similar look in the scan.

thanks

I see more skin detail in the print but the scan of the neg came across as sharper. I blame that fully on my scanning of the print. Under a loupe it is much, much sharper than the scan of the neg

this is a 800 scan in full

that's a really nice print. Did you take classes?

I can't for the life of me imagine how anyone can see how it really looks w/o seeing the print itself. I mean, that's the point, right?

hmmm pointing out the obvious... As the OP noted "I can see some difference between the two but the diffeence is very noticable when it is in your hand!"

Both processes being totally different will provide different results but some level of information is imparted whereas no images provides no information. I take I take all the information i can get.

🙂 I am still rolling on the floor 🙂

Thanks for the compliment on the printing but I learned my limited amount by printing, reading, looking at others prints, and printing some more!

the print seems to have much higher contrast, can barely make oout finger nail details in the hand....

I agree...it looks great when in your hand, sort of faded when scanned into LR3, great again when added contrast in LR3 then over contrasted when mported to flikr 🙂
