-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Pat Curran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 22. august 2004 23:21 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: Scans from Minolta 5400 Hi Jens & List, > Pat, can you post samples from scans made with the Minolta Dimage Scan Elite > 5400 I have two scans of the same slide at: http://www.iol.ie/~pkcurran/TestScans/ScanTest.htm I am not an expert scanner, so please do not judge the 5400 on these scans alone. At the moment I am trying to put 10 to 15 of my best 35mm slides onto CD to submit as a trial batch to the Alamy online picture library ( http://www.alamy.com/default2.asp ). My inspiration is Roger Antrobus's excellent book "Photographs that Sell and Sell..." - he maintains that the 35mm format can be sold to picture editors if ALL aspects of the submission (technical and creative) are A1 - that's my goal at present. If I can make some money from selling 35mm stock then I will have no problem convincing my wife Therese of the merits of purchasing the Pentax 6x7II system ;) Two points I would be grateful for help on: 1) Can anyone recommend a good book on getting the best from film scanners? 2) Are there any contributors to Alamy picture library on the list - if so can you let me have your opinion on them and any other libraries you deal with. My thanks to all who welcomed me onto the list. Have a good week. Pat
