eddie, good exposure, just wondering if this scan is before or after you may have varnished the plate. if its before i bet that the varnishing would bring those hilites down a little so you would have a little more detail in the paws. at least thats how it was with the little gnomb guy.,...........frank
 
yeah, the scan does not do the tiger justice. there is details in his paws now. i agree, after a varnish it will be perfect.

i am not good at varnishing yet. i can not get the gloss i ma looking for. i plan to take it to work and spray automotive clean on it. this works great and gives it a beautiful glossy look.
