Separating the grain reduction from the cleaning processes would be the
change that will finally get me to pay for Vuescan - I keep checking it

sufficient for me to open the wallet!

No, the Acer bundle does not include a target or any profiling

Yes, there may be many good reasons for jumping to Win2K, but if you have
any unsupported software or 'legacy' hardware, it may not be the best
decision at all.. I would much rather read a list of reasons NOT to
upgrade, from an unbiased source, before leaping!

Just a couple of quick comments..
1. Cleaning neg's with water
Bear in mind that if you use anything but 'unexposed' distilled water as a

While on this off-topic :), are many of you using the (dreaded!?) 870/1270
Epsons in a semi-pro or pro role, and have you or clients experienced those

Having just experimented with print resolutions using a very sharp
Kodachrome 25 with lots of fine detail, I would agree with Bob's figures.
I found that I could push the print resolution down to 140 dpi before I
began to detect a noticeable difference in the prints when viewed at about
30cm
Maybe it's because it is Friday pm here:), but the explanation below
doesn't sound right to me. The losses to the image occur when you *save*
it.. (So sure, if you just keep *re-saving* that same on-screen file, the
image won't degrade further - but why would you do that?)
But as soon as
