Hi,
I friend on mine has a lot of old 35mm slides they wish to scan into computer.
Apparently they have a lot, so taking them into a shop to do the
scanning is too expensive.
Does anyone have any knowledge of how to do this in a simple way.
Maybe some USB attached device? What sort of quality will the scan be?
Kind Regards
James
The quality can be as good as you are willing to pay for -- dedicated
slide scanners are quite expensive. There are also adapters that allow
you to photograph a slide with a digital camera, but the quality you get
would not be as good as a scanner.
Probably the best scanner software to use is Vuescan, which runs on
Linux but is not free.
Whichever way you do it, the main investment will be time: it's a very
tedious process, involving dust removal, colour correction, cloning out
blemishes...
cheers
Chris
