I wish the resolution was the same as the original slides.
That's the same problem I had, scanning 3x5's & 4x6's. And none of the monitors I've used have been able to display the full brightness range of the original either. Â Next time I'll try as big a print as the scanner bed can acommodate.
Chuck,
What kind of scanner would you recommend? I was thinking of a 1200 dpi or higher scanner. The camera store charged my $8 to have those slides scanned and I think I could do a better job myself. That Fuji Sensia 400 is good slide film but I think the Ektachrome 200 or P1600 is better. It's more sensitive to the red nebulosity. Debbie

Debbie, I can't make any recommendations. I haven't found one yet I'm 100% happy with, but I still have very limited experience with them. Rob or Jim could probably give you meaningful advice here. Our art department staff says to get the largest flatbed you can afford, they seem to like HP, which I despise from experience. Remember that in going from an emulsion to a digital format, some data will always be lost. I'm beginning to think that in order to avoid this, one should probably shoot digitally right from the start, or stick with emulsion-based imaging all the way through, in the absence of the "perfect" scanner. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Deb We've been real happy w/ the Epson'Perfection" series of flatbed scanners. I get real good scans from 35mm and 120 films. Our other scanner does up to 8x10 transparencies and reflective art and that one also does a fine job and scans to 4800 dpi. You can tweek a slide or print so much after being scanned, digital from the git-go is best, or stick w/ film based technology. Have fun Rob PS use some scanners that members/friends have or go to a store that's into office equipment, try them all
