I just got back some prints back from the lab and just wondering what the general consensus is on this. I'm still not sure which gives a better scan....the print itself or the negative? My scanner isn't the greatest, but it does have the ability to scan transparencies and negatives. Also what would you recommend for scanning resolution, I was thinking somewhere around 300 to 600 dpi? I want to get the best quality I can......any thoughts?

I am, therefore I create.......
