Scanning question

[Johnytuono]

HI
Is it better to scan from an original negative (35mm) or from a, say, 7"x5" photo?

The negative. The print has come from that and would have degraded from that original by being printed.

Sometimes you can get better results from a print esp if you can't find the negs

Always from the negative - this is the original source of image data
