Bob,

I couldn't connect with that link.  I did find much smaller versions of that
image.  Help please.  I would love to get hold of this one.

Anyone wanting to see first hand what impact negative size has on the
final print should go the Library of Congress web site and download
the 12mb TIF of Walker Evans' "Floyd Burroughs, Cotton Sharecropper,
Hale County Alabama"
http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/I?fsaall:43:./temp/~ammem_27kv::displayType=1:m856sd=ppmsc:m856sf=00244:@@@
and then print it. Don't do any PS adjustments other than normal
printer profile, just send the raw 400 dpi 8x10 to the printer. Look
at the print and think about it coming from a 12 meg file but being
from an 8x10 neg.

I think the link may be down.  I had connected to it when Bob had 
first posted it.

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.
