Hi! I think that both Vuescan and Digital ICE don't work very well with Kodachrome slides, which has also been stated many times. As far as I know Digital ICE softens the image, while Vuescan does not. So I'd suggest that applying som additional filter (dust and scratches) in Photoshop may help.

Thanks Ed, valuable info indeed. It's really worthwhile info to know that it will work with your software as previous versions did. Now, what about the quality ? Did you hear any opinions about his scanning capabilities ? Regards, Alex Z -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you are on a budget, and willing to experiment, and suffer the quality consequenses, you can photograph your screen. I have recently seen a slide show where scanned slides were digitally manipulated, then photographed from screen. I don't know what the screen resolution was. When only

Is the USB on the SS4000+ USB 2.0 or 1.1? Have you compared any scans from the Plus with the SS120? Do you know the rated Dynamic Range of the Plus? I'm hoping it's 3.9 like the SS120, since both are 14-bit systems. That would mean an extra 1-2/3 stops of range over the 4000, which is

There is a big difference between screen resolution of 1200x 800 and having a 4000x2700 pixel slide from a 4k film printer (or 8200x5500 pixels off an 8k one). The earlier Film printers were not much with there small tubes (The current Polaroids have 7 tubes) Compared to the screen the film

The Sprintscan plus is not yet on the market, but will be the replacement for the SS4000. It will probably cost nearly twice as much as current pricing on the SS4000. It has somewhat higher bit depth, and a firewire or USB connection versus SCSI. Art Thomas B. Maugham wrote: I've seen

If you can find a SS4000 at a good price you might wish to buy it. David Hemingway has stated that the main differences are bit depth increase from 12 to 14. Interface changed from SCSI II to USB and Firewire. Art Charles Stirling wrote: ** Reply to note from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri, 28 Dec
