because to scan it will unsharpen it and you don't want sharpened images.
What is this dastardly thing called "scan" of which you speak? Is it a social disease?
Super-sharp images inherently cannot be posted on the web. It's like trying to peel a potato with a sledgehammer. Mush, splat, mess. If you
want to see sharp images you need to be nose to nose with something like a 30X40 inch Cibachrome printed from 8x10.
So what you're saying, Drew, is that all this blathering on on APUG (and any other website, really) about sharpness is really just an excuse for public verbal masturbation?
Does this Joe Jackson album cover shot by Brian Griffin count?
I wanna know how he's going to know the difference in scanner resolution (spi), and downsizing algorythm after the scan, whether scanner was using its own sharpening or dust removal and few other things I haven't considered. Oh, which actual scanner as not all scanners are equal. Oh and the format of the neg or print being scanned and whether its a print scan or a neg scan.
i.e. it's a pointless test which proves absolutely bugger all since you can't use it for any kind of comparative test that would be meaningful.
