Thanks for the comments, folks! I've created a series of three pictures to participate in a group effort with portraits, which has been a lot of fun for me! Max, I do everything on my old Mac laptop, in order to stay consistent. I have no calibrated monitor, and simply do the best with what I've got. Scanning prints sucks, especially glossy ones. Thanks for the comment! The print has detail where it counts, although some areas of her hair is purposely just maximum black. It's also a 9" x 12" print, so I had to scan it in two pieces and stitch them together, and that shows up as uneven mid and low values, especially around the center, with a line going left to right between nose and mouth.

Absolutely. Was not a reference to the printing and as you know I'm not one looking for shadow detail Was just a comment in reference to what a pain in the neck it is to scan and then see it look different on different computers/monitors. But again, that's just the way it is.
