I cannot tell you how many times I've been reviewing negative pages of the
past and found some real "gems" in there that I could only see their
potential now, or my abilties are such in printing or scanning that I can do
so much more with them now.  Let alone the time element and how that changes
what I consider to be a keeper or neg frame with potential vs. what I
thought was without potential then.  Thank god I was not shooting digital
and quickly editing in camera and tossing the "bad" ones.....
