Thanks Victor and Walter - I so wish we could look at the actual prints instead.
It took a long time to get the scan of this print this far, but it still just doesn't come together like the print... It's disappointing. Working on getting a copy stand and a digital camera instead of a scanner. It looks terribly flat on screen and has none of the luminosity of the original, and I don't know how to capture it in the scan.
Looks like a great portrait, Thomas, and very well suited to lith. Let me know how it works for you with photographing prints. I may start doing the same, as scanning anything that is toned, and especially lith, is a real pain.
beautiful work Thomas - the lith adds a wonderful softness to the portrait - and I agree about the problems with scanning lith prints; they never look the same
