i think that is mostly wishful thinking. when a scanner can pick up bubbles
in the emulsion that an optical enlargement can't, it's clear that the scan
is capturing more detail than any optical technique can deliver. as far as
color rendition, the mere act of using wet printing paper with much higher
contrast, and you have almost no control over this, is losing the highlights
and shadows of a full range slide. as far as i am concerned, scanning can
pick up much more than any wet printing paper can capture when working in
color. when you work in the B&W world, it's the other way around.

Methinks this is a bogus comparison. Herb is comparing the results of
scanned film to original digital output. In another post Godfrey is
comparing the results of scanned film to original digital output. Once
the
image on a piece of film has been scanned, it's degraded.
