I had one on order and it is now is stock. Hopefully get some scanning
going this weekend.

Simon, I hope you scan until-the-cows-come-home this weekend.
And don't forget to report the findings of your new Scan Multi Pro to all
the rest of us!
Joyfully, -david soderman-
The French Chasseur d'Images magazine November issue reviews the Scan
Multi Pro. It gets a pretty good result, and is considered qualitatively
equal to or better than the 8000ED. And the software works. And the film
carriers are way, way better. They do comment on the speed for full res 6x9
Mario,
Do you mean that for FP4/FP5 its much better to adjust contrast during
scanning than in photoshop?

I am in the midst of doing some A:B scanner comparisons, and I've got to
say that I give anyone who can figure out a fully generic method to do
this a lot of credit.
I find I'm dealing with different resolutions, different software
interfaces, different methods of profiling the films,
It is interesting that you mention things like unsharpness and veils
In the case of two scanners I'm comparing (which will again remain
nameless), on first examination, one appears to have better color
saturation and cleaner colors which almost make it look sharper, due
to higher contrast.

Ian,
Sorry for the confusion that I caused. In the first post, I referred my
films brandt and age to better define their features, just in case this
would be important for some suggestions for scanning them. I was
particularly thinking about their fine grain.

practical hints, etc.

combination?
Also, is anyone out there running VueScan/8000ED on their Mac?

Mário,
You said .
Most people say that, with 12 bits depth scans , there is no advantage
in tuning prior to scan over working the scan in Photoshop.
You are of course aware that the Minolta is 16 bit?

Hello David - if it is not
If you go to the Polaroid UK web page you will find links to several
reviews. In addition to those there is a new one from Praxis Publishing in
German. I could forward you the PDF of the German article if it would be
useful.

Sorry again, it was a typograghic mistake. I already sent the correction to
the list. My
Microtek 4000t is also a 16 bits.
I am also searching for other inks and systems -- piezo, quadtones, many
many options for a begginer... As I am not a professional (while I am a very
exigeant amateur),
I'm amazed, but I just can't figure out how to open the filmstrip carrier.
Would appreciate help.

Hi Martin,
If you think getting it open is a pain - just wait until you try to load it
with film. ;-)
The catch operates just like it looks.
With scanners, saying samples per inch tends to suggest samples within the
optical resolution of the scanner
Not at all. A scanner is an analog data acquisition device, and it IS, in
fact, sampling, as in taking samples.
