My Print is ready too. and I have made a digital image of it, which I will put up here when the time comes. I specify print because I think the point of the exercise, for me, was to print a film negative and the physical print is the intended output. Nevertheless, and obviously, that wont work here; but as soon as Canada Post is not on strike I will mail the print to Don_ih, because I think he deserves it. Perhaps, if it will not make a fuss, he might then comment on the physical print and its digital representation.

I will happily comment on anything if asked. And it's nice of you to offer the print.

I have a great deal of difficulty getting scans to look like prints. While I can work with scanned negatives and make them look how I want them to, whenever I have a print and scan it (or digitally photograph it in a copy stand), it tends to not look quite like the print when I compare them. I'll admit to not being patient enough to fiddle too much with white balance and things like that, though....

I'll have to for this, I guess. I printed to 5x7 for this, since it is a convenient size for scanning, although it's a bit small for much darkroom manipulation.

I was hoping to get into the darkroom this week, but it's not looking likely at this stage. Don't wait up for me - but I expect I'll be able to make my print next week and deliver a scan of the print then.

Same for me. I am running behind as well.

No one is running behind. There's no deadline. We're basing our schedule off when most people are ready.

My print is done, I've just sent you an email, Don.

I have received it.

We now have 8 people done (I think).

Please don't wait on me. It will be done, but I'm not sure exactly when.

I am waiting for my darkroom print to dry and flatten, before I can try to photograph it on my phone without reflections. So it will be a day or two yet before I can email anything over.

There's time. I'd like more than 50% of those who received negatives to be finished. We're not close to that, yet.
