looking at getting something cheaper than a Nicon CoolScan (owchy
owchy price wise) to digitise my family's large collection of
negatives and slides.
I notice Gerry Gibbs have a CanoScan FS 4000 which seems to exceed my
requirements performance wise (and only really exceed my budget by a
almost tolerable amount)
however I had to search Canons site to find any mention of this (or
any other dedicated film scanners) and find that the last mention of
it was in late 2001 and only offering mac drivers for Mac OS 9.x or
lower.
I guess all I'm interested in is Twain drivers for Photoshop but the
FARE automated retouch (dust and noise) software looks like it would
be far better than Photoshops remove dust and scratches filter (as
FARE examines the film for actual physical surface
damage/imperfections rather than post scan guessing which often
results in any fine lines being blurred out)
anybody have any experience with the CanoScan FS range under OSX?
