filmscanners: Tony

2001-02-11 Thread Hornford, Dave

Tony,

Please set me to no-mail. I will be travelling for a while and don't want my
'out-of-office note' to be a bother.

Sorry for sending this to the list. I can't surf the net from the network
connection I have and don't have your e-mail address handy.

regards Dave

True electronic signature systems include three components -
non-repudiation, authentication, and no-change.
Like a pen signature, an electronic signature has to change the document not
sit beside the document.

Eventually, through the use of bio-metrics, your electronic "signature"
will be as "good" and as unique as your fingerprint.

What you say may be true enough; but even that only guarentees the
authenticity of the signature and not the content of the document that the
signiture has been affixed to.  Hence the problem of counterfeiting still is
not solved when it comes to the authenticity of documents.  



RE: filmscanners: 4x5 budget flatbed scanners - opinions

2000-12-07 Thread Hornford, Dave

My wallet is recommending I look at the UMAX 3450 since its only $179 CDN
(about $110 USD)

I am looking for something to 'proof' my 4x5 - anything I really like I can
have enlarged normally, the rest I can print out.

regards Dave



RE: filmscanners: NikonLS30 or CanoScan2710?

2000-11-19 Thread Hornford, Dave



I own a 
2710 and didn't buy the LS-30 because of the price differential at the 
time.
IIRC, it 
was $cdn880 vs $cdn1300-1700 (there were two Nikon's that were $cdn 500 apart I 
don't recall which one was the LS-30), and it came with PhotoShop LE, which I 
would have needed on the Nikon side (since then I took advantage of a deal 
between my employer and Adobe and upgraded)

In test 
scans of my slides they came out with results indistinguishable on my output (HP 
895 or Web). My retailer sold both so I came in with some slides  a zip 
disk.

ICE would 
have been nice, but it is needed on so few of my slides it was not worth a 60% 
price increase.Had price been out of the running I'd have bought a 
Nikon scanner, simply for the addition of 
ICE and the track record Nikon has in these devices compared to 
Canon's.

regards 
Dave

RE: What is a good flatbedscanner for making contact sheets?

2000-10-18 Thread Hornford, Dave

Any hints on where to find this function?

regards Dave

 You could scan at what ever resolution you want and build the "contact
 sheet" in software. Many catalog programs and other programs provide
 "browsers" for this purpose. Photoshop even includes a function to create
 contact sheets from any directory/folder. The product should certainly be
 better than you're going to get using a flatbed scanner for 35mm.
