2002-01-06 Thread Lloyd O'Daniel
I'm thinking of upgrading my flatbed scanner to one that has a page-size tranny adapter so that I can do digital contact sheets. (I sure wish Epson had thought of that when designing the 2450. :-( ) The idea is to be able to make low-res scans of negatives, preferably while they are still in the

Thanks Jawed, appreciate your input. In fact, I mostly will scan slides rather then prints. (I shoot negatives only for portrait and other people-related stuff, using slides for anything else). What I meant under AF problem is actually too shallow DOF the Nikons seem to generate resulting to

Bottom line here is: we all have our opinions and the perfect scanner software hasn't been written yet. I agree completely. SilverFast is a nice product, and the engineers at LaserSoft are quite good. Regards, Ed Hamrick But they're not on this list every day helping end users find good
