Mark, I apreciate your efforts to minimize this youngster's pain, but
one thing comes to mind about this issue. Almost every beautifully
done fine art photography book we see is made from scans of, or
rephotograghed, final darkroom prints.
Obviously this is changing, but there it is. Just a thought.
When I was but a digital thumb sucker, I first scanned prints since
the scanned negs needed a mind numbing amount of editing while the
prints had already been worked in the darkroom. Worked ok. Also my
crummy little flatbed did a much better job on larger reflective scans
than little film scans.
Something one wants to work beyond though, I agree.
