What's good?
Compared to a scan done from film, a print scan is not good, no.
And that does show when the scanned image is used only on computer
displays.


I'm not sure anyone would be able to see the difference in a "web size" jpeg
image of say even 640X480 in size between a scan of a print and a scan of
the original film. Given many people display their images smaller than this
(for fear of them being stolen?) I can't see any reason to be scanning film
for web display purposes if the print being scanned looks good.
