Thanks, Gary- I guess maybe it's a matter of opinion thing. Yhe lab in Columbus I've started to use has the Frontier, also, and they don't think the scan to disc would be very satisfying- thier opinion,of course. They did a few prints for me and adjusted some dark blue out,(from a slide) a result of early morning sun and polarizer, the print looked OK, but I see a bit of a digital " line " along the roof, so I'm not convinced that process is that much better. That said, I thank you Gary for your help, I hope to get my scanner yet this month so I can start to experiment myself.
