Re: Scanning Black & White Negatives

2004-08-17 by btvarner

Thank you! Thank you!
This is exactly what I was doing!  No one else saw through the 
issue.  Since I have been shooting everything digital the last few 
months, I had forgotten which folder I sent my scan to.  consequently 
I have been looking at the raw files.

This is much better, thanks again!

Bruce

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
