[X4U] Slide scanner

[William Morse]

There's nothing wrong with basic scans for proof sheets (eg like we used to use contact sheets), emails, web jpegs and mailers. Use them to determine which are the images that deserve better treatment.

I routinely print using papers specified by the artist; it's just a matter of obtaining the paper and making a profile. The only problem is sometimes I'm left with "orphaned" papers, but eventually they get used up.

Yes, local is better, when it's available!

I'm not used to seeing someone that lets the photographer choose the type of fine art paper they use, and that's something I'm very particular about, and you can handle far larger prints than I can.
