Thanks John,
If I ever do show this body of work I will consider what you said.
Thanks for the information I appreciate it...

"Don't get me wrong Terri. We still drum scan transparencies and make
beautiful reproductions from them. I used to shoot lots of 4x5 and 8x10
transparency film here for this purpose and I was a master at it. We
color corrected and flashed the film and then pulled the E6 process to
control contrast buildup due to cross polarization to make it optimal
for scanning. All that used to happen as a matter of course until we
proved to ourselves that a direct scan using a Betterlight scan back
produced superior results.
That was eight years ago and we never looked back. We still get
transparencies in to work from with great results, but it's just not as
accurate as the direct scan which is actually more work and takes us
longer to do. With legacy work, we use the best approach from whatever
is available, but anything new is done using the Betterlight. So for
your hand coloured photos, there'd be no point in shooting
transparencies. Whenever a transparency is needed these days, we make it
from the scan and it looks better than an original transparency.

Do we listen?"
