That must have been very interesting Bill. I am not too keen on this
sharpening business (perhaps because I have little skill) and I do as
little as possible to my scans.

There is a screen full of adjustments that can be made. Some of the

interesting ones are for sharpness, saturation, and contrast. Yes,
contrast.
That's why that carefully exposed roll of 160NC came out looking like
Agfa
Ultra 50. The machines are set up by the reps for general minilab film
(not
the brand, but the subjects and exposures), and that's not good for us.
