Contact resizing

Andrew,

Would you say that with your 35 mm film camera you produce a better quality image than with a digital camera?
I am particularly interested in your views on sharpness.

Andrew, re the contact sheet: the dimensions in the dialog box are a bit
deceiving, I've discovered. It might tell you it's going to be square, but
what prints is actually in the aspect ratio of the original, i.e., if it
says it's going to print 4 images, 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches each, it really
gives you 4 images with the long side 3.5 inches and the short side whatever
results from the image's aspect ratio. If that size would work for you, I
suggest trying the contact sheet with a small folder created for that
purpose. Print out a page from it and see if you the size of the resulting
images meet your needs. Make sure you use a resolution of 200 ppi or more
for best results.

Andrew, re the 'warmth' of a digital image: it would seem that one could
achieve that with a digital if the parameters that constitute warmth can be
identified and adjusted within Elements.
