Re: Digitizing Prints

2007-03-22 by Barrett Benton

Interesting that someone mentioned Ralph Gibson scanning his prints, 
rather than his negs.   More than this, Gibson actually scans the 
prints *while still wet* (straight out of the wash), which, according 
to him, aids in getting additional detail in the final scans.  Must 
have a decent-sized scanner (I have a tabloid-size scanner, which has 
come in handy when scanning large-ish art work of others).
