Re: filmscanners: Sprintscan 35 plus and negs

I have been using 35+ as a photographer and and it is a real good scanner 
even if you compare
it to the new Nikon LS4000.
Picture results are excellent. I think  I have done at least 1000 jobs
on that scanner.
Best results did I get with Polaroid 2.7.1 software. You can download it 
from
http://www.polaroid.com/service/software/sprintscan/ss35mac.html

Even the new Polaroid Insight 4.5 works with Polaroid 35+

Best of all they are free to download from Polaroid.com

I would also nominate JASC's Paint Shop Pro as an excellent product and
faster than Photoshop, and I would second the use of VueScan (as would
almost anyone else here -- are we making you blush Ed?).

I'm not sure what all is bundled with the SprintScan you got, but you'll
have some good programs to start with. Most people here will say that
Vuescan, a 3rd party non-Twain scan-driver program is the best buy around
($40 US), and I'd concur; at that price, it's silly not to have it. :-)

Another useful program is Irfanview, which is freeware, downloadable on the
Net. It's a "slide show" program which also has other imagining, saving, and
presentation features, it's a very fast way to review your pictures, and
it's freely distributable if you're making CD discs for other people
(licensing is negotiable if you're doing discs for commercial distribution).
I should add that your Vuescan purchase will also cover a downloadable
program called "VuePrint," which is likewise an excellent slide-show program
(among other things), but is *not* freely distributable.

Top-of-the-Line software for imaging and retouching is Adobe's Photoshop, at
$600.00US. While it lasts, DirectDeals.com has a special on
slightly-outdated CorelDRAW/Photo-Paint9.0, which does much of the same but
*slightly* slower (for $40 US--bare-bones with no manual or tutorial disc).
Another good imaging program is Micrografx PicturePublisher8--less
sophisticated than PS6 or P-P9, but much easier to learn and use.

Welcome to the group. :-)

You could give Vuescan a try for starters.  Go to
