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..... -- Richard S.
