Shooting 4 or more identical exposures and then to average them out - will increase dynamic range and reduces noise - considerably. Bracketing of exposures coupled with Shop Action scripting - means awesome good scans out of anything chucked at it. Leave any in-camera sharpening - off. If you shoot JPEG's - doesn't matter about any artifacts as they disappear in the averaging process. After algorithmic averaging they sharpen up unbelievably well in the Shop. > > Also, if larger output is required, the capture in parts of the original > & join together to make larger document size. Believe me, jig up any digi-cam, and you have a cracking scanner. Respect William Curwen PS: Me?
