I do both. Scanning prints can present problems here with reflections from the
glossy-dried-matt surface, but for some it works out ok.
For images I plan to do other things with beyond the web, I'll drum scan if
35mm or 120, flatbed scan for 4x5 and larger, and mounted slides will go into
my PF3600 film scanner. For the web a flatbed will do just fine.
Scanning negs and working with that in photoshop allows for manipulations we
can never get in the darkroom (unfortunately) and may present a "false
advertising" issue, but can give one the best results possible from that piece
of film.

Subject: [pure-silver] Presenting silver images on the web
A question for those of you that have a web-presense for your silver images;
Do you scan the original negatives (with a film scanner) or do you make prints
first, then scan on a flatbed scanner?
My early attempts (prints with a flatbed) some years back were less than
stellar, my scanner has since broken, so I am faced with buying new. I have
seen several websites that did a beautiful job of presenting silver images, and
I have always assumed that people made the prints first, then scanned those.
Do most of you scan the prints, rather than the negs?
Anyone using the Epson V700? Do you like it? (sorry to be sliding OT...)
