Thanks so much John, now how do I handle the size that I want the small film scan to be, is that simply a matter of the scanning software and choosing the size I want the film to be? When this is put into iPhoto I want it high enough resolution to fill the screen and print at least an 8 x

John, Your getting the entire tonal range of the image when scanning from the neg/transparency, which you won't from scanning the photo. John On Tue, May 5, 2009 at 11:08 PM, Profile wrote: > What is the difference between scanning from a photo vs scanning from > the negative? > > In scanning t
