I am getting PS-CS to replace PS 5 LE and Elements. To support PS-CS, I am moving from Mac OS 9.1 to OS 10.3. I have also decided to replace my Mac G4 with a G5.
I have been using a Minolta Scan Dual II, which does not support OS 10, so I am considering the Scan Dual IV. The SD-IV has sufficient resolution to get a 13x19" print from a 35mm neg at 240 ppi at that scale. My question is: Do you think it is worthwhile to get the Elite if I am not planning to print larger than 13x19"? It seems like I have heard of grain aliasing issues, or somesuch. I am printing at 1440 dpi on watercolor paper with an Epson 2200. Also, I don't think 35mm negs can generally be enlarged more than that, even directly from the film in a darkroom, although I have printed them at 16x20 on a couple of occasions where it worked--sort of okay--given the project. So I am wondering what are your perceptions, for those who have opted for the Elite? And what size/style/film are you printing where you think it is worthwhile to have the extra scanning resolution? In short, is the Elite worth it?
