I know about conflicting answers ... currently I have Photosmart that seems to work ok, but not good on sunset and a bit dark images.. subject in the slides
So I have a question for you to ponder. I am looking for a new scanner and have narrowed it down to three options. they are . Nikon LS IV 2900DPI with Digital ICE, ROC and Gem software approx $750.00 http://www.imaging-resource.com/SCAN/CSIV/C4A.HTM Nikon Supercoolscan 2000 2700 DPI with ICE, ROC and GEM software multipass scanning approx. $750.00 http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/LS2K/LS2KA.HTM Polaroid Sprintscan 4000 multipass scanning and higher resolution and silverfast software around $699.00 with a $200.00 rebate http://www.imaging-resource.com/SCAN/SS4000/SS40A.HTM any thoughts? not going to print them, yet, just scan and post on web and other things... ======================= > Hi Eric; > You're going to get conflicting answers from different folks on this list.
