Re: scanners for film and negatives

[Redsponger <redsponger@xxxxxxxxx>]

HI Les - all my negatives are for my scientific research,  so it would be going into my manuscript and some for publication- have Windows XP, use Photoshop usually, actually for quick touch ups I have used Picassa2, which seems to have better resolution. The scanner I have went for was $600-700 when I bought it, but I would rather not spend that much now.  I'm not familar with Ed Hamricks software. I'm using EM (electron microscopy)- so I need decent resolution.
Thanks
Barbara

Hi Barbara,

I guess we need to know a little more. What is your system? What is your primary need film or flat art? And what if any is your budget? The field is pretty wide open these days. Do you use any of Ed Hamricks software or do you use the scanning software that comes with the scanner?

Are you using the scanner for making reprints, layout and design or just backing up film based images. What res limits do you have in place currently and what are your future needs?

May I suggest looking at the Epson V700 or the V750, they both have high marks, and scan multiple film and print formats.

Dear Group - I just had my Microtek Scanmaker4 go on the blink.  Need a decent scanner to scan 35 mm slides, filmstrips and 3" x 4" negatives that is not out of this world price wise - any suggestions?
Thanks so much
Barbara
