Karen Elson - Vogue Paris 2007 Calendar

Whoever scanned these did a fantastic job. Most scanners have no clue what they are doing and believe they are improving the original when they blow out the contrast and smudge away the skin texture. Instead of using the details at the extremes as their benchmarks, they just throw away all that information as though it didn't matter and trash the original image. But these scans offer as wide a contrast range as I ever see in digital reproductions. Great work on the shadow detail -- as good as I've seen.

Now, what happened to the server here? It's so slow it's almost too frustrating to do anything.
