My crappy scanner scans the pictures a bit darker than they look in the prints (plus it puts those faint stripes in the background of some of the pictures). In the prints, you can see you behind the sponge. On the negative, you can see the diver (you) even better. I'll go back to the developer tommorow to get them printed normally and see how they turn out then. I'll repost them if there's a decent difference.Hyper-limits:

Yes, though they digitally scan the negatives at the processor's, print them digitally and then I scan them again to post, so you could say they're more digital than digital. Also, instead of $10,000 for a digital SLR, super wide-angle lens, housing and strobe(s), mine cost around $200 (ok, and $150 for the 17mm lens). So if it floods, I just throw a hearty laugh at the ocean, root around for change in the sofa cushions and buy another one.Uncle Pug:
You don't get the digital images from the developer?swankenstein:
I thought about it, but I'd have to pay almost double for the images on a CD as well as prints (I like having prints to look at). I'm pretty cheap. One of these days I'll give in.Uncle Pug:
