Okay, I'm about to but the Epson 2200. Also thinking about the Minolta 5400, which comes with Elements. I am still using the PS 5.0 LE that came with previous hardware. I remember hearing that Elements will only open 8-bit files, and not 16-bit files.
1. I usually convert the Scan Dual II image to 8-bit only after I bring the image into PS 5.0 LE. I guess I can make the necessary adjustments to 16-bit files within the Minolta software. But I have to import it to PS to print it, so I don't get to make a test print to see if the adjustments worked right before I have to save them to 8-bit when I'm in the Minolta software. Do I understand all this correctly? 2. What advantages does Elements offer vs 5.0 LE? 3. Assuming I have very sharp negatives, will this set of upgrades be worth it ($1500)? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
