filmscanners: CD Printing
Good morning list, (at least to the ones were it's morning) I am trying to find what inkjet printer is being used to print onto CD's. Has anyone had any experience with this? Chuck Phelps
filmscanners: Minolta Elite, Nikon LS-40, Acer 2740S
Has anyone got any good advice on which one I should choose, Minolta Elite, Nikon LS-40 (CoolScan IV) or Acer 2740S? I know of the differences "on paper", and I like the Acer for SCSI batch scanning of slides, the Minolta for SCSI and singlepass multiscanning, and the Nikon for the LED's and auto/manual focus. How do they compare on image quality (sharpness, color, noise...)? I will be scanning slides, mostly Kodachrome. Egil Rognvik

It would seem to me that the slides should come out correctly. If they are reversed, Minolta is out to lunch IMHO. There should be enough depth of field with that unit to avoid focusing problems. Unless there is a refection problem with one side versus the other, I would scan so it is correctly read. Yes. This used was an error in the Minolta manual. I am amazed it is still there, uncorrected, something like 18months later. 5. I've been trying Vuescan and since it seems that consensus on this list is that the best way to use it is to output raw files that's what I've been doing but... ...some of the scans stay very dark no matter what I do in Photoshop (I'm not new to Photoshop-started with v. 2.5.1- but not expert with curves either). Are these slides cases for multipass exposure? Slides that manifest darker shadows or underexposure are good candidates for multiple expose, in general. Quite possibly it will just be a matter of setting levels in PS (white and black points, and gamma via the midtone slider).

Re: filmscanners: Minolta Elite, Nikon LS-40, Acer 2740S
I cannot opine as to the new Nikon... it's not been on the market long enough for the real bugs to come crawling out... I own a Minolta Elite... it has given me good service and great scans... it doesn't have batch scanning, but the scans I get are sharp and well exposed... My local pro shop steered me to the Minolta over the LS 2000 Nikon (which I was ready to buy and they sell both)... The Minolta scan software is user friendly, I use it to TWAIN 16 bit linear scans into PShop, where I do the adjustments No comment on the Acer, since I don't own one. My only comment is that the new Canon scanner ought to be on your list as well, and if you don't have to buy one right now, you might want to wait to see if Minolta comes out with a new machine in the next few months...

My choice was based primarily on the Nikon having greater dynamic range and my belief that it would handle darker slides better. To my delight, the Nikon seems to scan color negatives very well. Having no experience with the other scanners, I can't comment. I am pleased with the Nikon to date. You can see some of my earliest scans - I am a beginner at this - on this link: http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=3861 The color photos are scans from the Coolscan IV. The BW's are flatbed scans of prints. I like the Nikon Scan 3 software. It works on my Win 98SE platform perfectly as a TWAIN import to Photoshop 6. I also like the USB interface. I avoided the extra $150 to $200 for a good SCSI card. I have also used the Coolscan IV with Vuescan. Vuescan works a little better on some slides, but not as well as NS 3 on color negatives. You may want to wait for the release of the new Canon that specs out at 4000 ppi. I did know about the Canon until after I bought the Nikon.
