Oh ok.
Yes it sure does.
The idea of scanning prints contact or otherwise is not why I bought the
scanner. I bought it to scan medium format and large format film.
But I did find as I mentioned that its surprising from a contact print how
much information it seems like you're working with it it feels very much
like you're working form a negitillve. I say thing having worked of rouse
with negatives.
So I'm not saying it equals it or come close
I'm saying its surprising how it seems like it. I'm sure purely subjective.
Flat bed scanning from smallish prints might seem dumb but it ends up being
surprisingly worth it. As always: its always what you don't think.
