(Yeah, I've been busy offlist and not participating here much, just
glancing at most-recent threads every so often. Sorry about that.
Hope tochange it soon ...)
My ex-housemate hasn't taken his computer away yet, and he has a
scanner with a transparency adaptor (35mm strips only, alas, not
120 nor mounted slides) so I've been scanning a bunch of my old
to take advantage of it while it's still here. A lot of film from
2001-2003.
When preparing a scanned image for posting on the web or emailing
to a subject -- mostly adjust-levels, unsharp-mask, scale, and
maybe crop -- one of my standard actions is (duh) to add a copyright
notice. Here's the thing: I'm not really certain whether it's
more appropriate to put in the year the photo was captured on
film, or the year I scanned and prepped it. Or should I just
ignore what's "more appropriate" and put the current year because
I _can_ (because it's a "new version" with (minor) changes plus the
change in medium)?
Using the current year if I'm blacking out (or whiting out) the
background or making other significant changes to the composition
seems obvious to me. When it's just a matter of applying two
filters and adding the copyright notice, it feels a lot less
obvious.
So: what do _you_ do when adding a copyright notice to a new scan
of an old photo? And, if you have the time: why?

PS: Hey, on the plus side it means finally getting more Pentax
shots into digital form even if they're all from old shoots -- due
to my chronic difficulty affording processing, most of the photos
I've _seen_ lately have been the ones I've shot on the P&S digicam,
not on film. Not much to even _consider_ submitting to the PUG
lately, until this scanning-frenzy began... unless using a Pentax
lens reversed in front of the digicam for macro counts as "using
Pentax equipment", that is.
PPS: I'm sure I've asked before but I recently lost my file server's
/home drive and all my mail archives with it: what developer do
y'all suggest for Kodak HIE (subject is an outdoor wedding); and
similarly for TMZ shot at various speeds?
