I would also like to know more about filmscanners. Of the ones I've
considered, the new Nikon Coolscan IV ED USB filmscanner is my favorite.
However, at $895.00, the price is a bit high for a photo hobbyist.

Sorry, but it is 2900dpi. Coolscan 4000 ED is
4000dpi, but IV ED unfortunately is not.

Would the highest resolution scan on the consumer grade
photo CD be
good enough to produce a high quality print as large as
11x13"
I think so, yes, but define "high quality". :)

Oops. I had it stuck in my head that *all* the new Nikons were 4000dpi.
Sorry! Anyway,
Amen brother. The only consoling thought is that if I can get this system (film,
scanner,calibration,output) working, it will allow me to have more control over
the final image I hand my client. Problem is, everytime I think I see a light at

CPU power is not the most significant aspect here. Most of the time RAM and
hard disk space and speed will be more frustrating bottlenecks. A 10Gb disk
will fill up amazingly quickly, and you will need 256Mb RAM. Enhancing any
laptop is generally expensive and they are usually poor value

Hi Paul.
First priority to me would be the input device.
Once you have bought it will last years and still be making good scans
when you have gone through several computer upgrades.
Any computer, Mac or PC will do what you want with your digital files

Paul - you should be able to use a variety of monitors with a
powerbook, however you should always check each one's requirements
just to make sure. I work on a G3 powerbook with an external l9"
monitor, already not big enough for me. I don't think the powerbook
is too slow however one can
Paul: I think the answer to your question depends a lot on what you are trying
to achieve... I agree that you should maybe take a little more time to look at
your scanner choice... There are a number of excellent scanners out there... I
