Oh wow. By different I didn't mean hard. I just meant you have to go at it a little differently than you do for digital camera images. Because I think that's where most folks have their problems. They expect scanning film to be just like a digital camera, and it isn't.
It can be very very easy though. The V500 is an exceptional scanner (especially for the price), and I'm finding it very easy to use. Black and white particularly so. Don't let what anyone else has to say about it stop you. If you have a problem, ask; someone here is sure to know the solution. ~nick On Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 9:27 AM, Eric Weir <eew...@bellsouth.net> wrote: > > On Dec 1, 2010, at 10:04 PM, Nick David Wright wrote: > >> Scanning film is a good deal different than digital photography. > > I got an Epson V500 back when I started working my way back to photography -- > about a year ago.
