Dear Friends,

      The large format negative has sooo much more area to play with that 
you can leave a little room around the edges and still get a big image to 
play with. So I adopt the worst-case scenario and imagine that I have badly 
jiggered up my composition but can save it by cropping on the easel - and I 
always leave a little cropping room.

Indeed Uncle Dick, but like I said, sometimes I'm a slow learner.:)  I just 
emerged from the darkroom after processing 20 sheets of 4x5 and I've got 
about 8 that are so tightly cropped that I'll need a glass carrier to print 
them. It's either that or settle for contact prints.  When will I ever 
learn...

Regards, Pete
