Justin,

I've always found that a properly exposed contact sheet (printed so that the 
clear base at the ends and edges is just visible) helps a great deal.

   I am in the process of souping rolls of film, 120, shot while in Yosemite 
park. So lots of pine and rock.. I bracketed all of the shots and used a red 
filter for many of them.. I've got a big weekend of printing ahead of me and I 
want to waste as little time as possible as I have 10 prints to produce. 

   How do you go about evaluating your negs ? How do you chose which of your 
bracketed shots to go ahead and print ? Looking at the negs, they go from 
thinner to thicker. The thickest shots are the ones were I can make out most of 
the elements in the image. But is that the best frame to print ? 

   Just curious as to what people do when trying to decide which frame to 
print.. Obviously test prints is the best way, but there still needs to be a 
narrowing of possibilities.. 
  
  Thanks
