Hallo,
last week i spoke to some photographer, which is on buisness since over 20 years. Since 2008 he worked completly analog - a few years later i sarted working analog
We were talking about the scan-abaility and results comparing lab-prints and scan and came up the following thing:
1.
Comparing lab-prints (most of the time with RA4-paper, that does not exist anymore) to high-res (printed )scans (up to drum-scans) there is a huge difference, especially in the point that the scan-files somehow "look" less three-dimensional.Other photgraphers confirmed this observation with their own experience.
What is is about? I could not find any explenation.
Is it possible to rid of this effect and the workflow process via scanning negatives?
2.
Since scanners (up to drum) are getting better and better they seperate the negatives and relayer them not exactly - the pictures become to grainy. On the other side, when you try to get rid of these sharpness the picture gets unsharp.
Does anyone have an advise where to start research for a solution of this?
Best regards,
luke
