Re: [Digital BW] Negative Size ?

Just one end of the spectrum of responses I expect you will get.  I have
kind of gone down the road you are exploring.  Found digital cameras great
for certain things but not for fine arts photography (?yet).  Settled on the
3/4 gig file from (my) drum scanner from 4X5 and 1 3/4 gig file from 11 X
14.  Just no substitute for the look and ³feel² of the work from this
source, no matter what I do in Photoshop.  This is true even with a print as
small as 11 X 14, of course even more so with a 48 X 65 mural print.
