I wish to scan and burn to CD my home collection of personal 35mm
slides and photos. Any recommendations for a scanner? This is not a
highly professional operation, just home use. I have tried to look
at the archives but I am unable to find anything at all within the
last 18 months. Obviously I am incompetent at using the archives!
Using OS X 10.4.7 on a TiPB 867 [which means USB 1.1].
Thanks for any pointers.
First you need the right archives address ... everybody store this
bookmark please :-
<http://wamug.org.au:8100/Lists/wamug/List.html>
and if you just put " slides " in the search box and hit enter
( return) you will get a number of hits ,
and I am not saying they are all useful , but it is a starting point .
Instead of "slides" you can try some other words eg: photo ,
photo's , scan , etc.
So much for the archives
For the 35 mm slides think .. they are small ... so you need many dpi
per inch for quality .
You need the right sort of fitting to hold them , perhaps they need
a backlight ???
Check out the spec's of the Epson 3590 to get the thought processes
working

dwonload page for the 3590 manual etc
