Subject: Re: (O) SS4K Shadow noise
I have to agree with David. I shoot a lot of contrasty florals against
black and darkly colored velvet. The shadows and dark blacks are the
least
of my problems. The solid black backgrounds are always perfect. In
PS,
when I run the eyedroper across them the "info" palette shows very
subtle
distinctions in color values that are indistinguishable on my
calibrated
LaCie. The scanner is picking up variations that are undetectable
visually.
Sharpness, on the other hand, is still a challenge.
