I have alot of Kodachrome slides taken with my trusty ME-Super all the way up to my PZ-1. I have been attempting to scan these with my Epson 4990, which is a pretty decent scanner from what I've read. But the slides always seem to scan very dark, even though I can put them on a light table and see them just fine, and they project beautifully. Do any of these scanners have provisions for upping the brightness of the lamp, or changing the ISO (sensitivity) of the scanner sensor? It seems that doing this during scanning would be more effective than me trying to stretch out the underexposed scan afterwards with levels.
The other problem I have is that apparently because of the mount, the slides seem slightly out of focus. I suppose to get them to scan perfectly in focus I would have to take them off the mount so they can lay flat on the scanner bed. That just seems drastic however. rg -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
