Re: [Digital BW] Print Exchange

I too, just got the print exchange package. Martin, thank you for your below note...All so true. I was also struck by (and this includes my work as well, *and* is nit picking) that fact that most of us would benefit from access to a high end scanner (a dream, I suppose), as well as benefit from from learning better sharpening techniques to avoid the trap and image degradation caused by over sharpening. I would not have said either 6 months ago, but now that I've seen the light, I want more better etc. :- ) And again, Shaun, thank you..I got tired just looking at all the prints, I can't imagine what it was like to have to coordinate, collate and redistribute so many images! Kudos to you!
