The proof......

a 3x comparison of an oil painting captured digitally and on filmSame lens, same lighting. We used our specialised digital capture system for the digital version and 4"x5" colour transparency drum scanned at 4000ppi. for the film version. The digital capture is at a quarter of its potential resolution. These are tiny sections from a much larger capture of an entire oil painting, shown here at 3x life size.
