Re: Scanning negatives and slides

[Bill Parker]

Chris,

I would recommend using something like Kaiser Baas Photomaker.  Its a 
standalone neg and slide scanner that is very easy to to use and not expensive.

I seem recall JB HiFi.  It has two racks that hold five slides/negs.  You push 
the rack through the machine and click.   (A bit like an old fashioned slide 
projector)  It works across Windows and Mac - the plug in is USB

[Chris Burton]

Hi Bill

Thanks very much for your suggestion. I had no idea such a unit existed!!!
I will do some online searching on it to see what it is and where I might
be able to get one?

Have you used this before? Does it do batch scanning and work with a mac?

Best regards

Chris

Re: Scanning negatives and slides

[Marlene Oostryck]

Hi Chris,

I have been using the Kaiser Baas Photo Maker Touch for years and have scanned 
thousands of negatives and slides.
It has a small touch screen and saves scans to an SD memory card for easy 
transfer to Mac or PC.
The Touch model has a 9 megapixel camera to capture the scan and you can make 
colour adjustments using the screen but I prefer to transfer them as is and do 
my editing on my iMac.
It can process 5 negs or 5 slides with each scan to store on your SD card.
The machine is very robust and gives excellent results.
I purchased mine at Harvey Norman - around $220 at that time.

Have fun!

Scanning negatives and slides

[Chris Burton]

Hi all

In relation to Bill's recent post, on scanning photos with a multi printer,
I am interested to know if it is possible to scan negatives and slides on a
multi function printer?

I have an old Epson multi printer (with a flat bed top with a lid) that
cannot, but understand some multi printers can with optional add ons or
something?

Im not sure if any exist now as I would like to be able to batch scan a
number of negatives or slides together into one file, that I can use in PS
to separate individual images if possible?

This would save time given I have a couple of thousand to do!

Thankyou in advance for any information on this.

Best regards

Chris

Scanning negatives

[Lloyd White]

I have been scanning old photos with Vuescan and this has been fine.

When I scan negatives using the special negative strip holder on my Epson
650 it takes forever with a single strip. I followed the Vuescan settings
but it takes several minutes each strip.

Even then the result is not good. I get a greenish haze over all the photos.

Where can I get some tips on how to speed up the process and get better
results?

Ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Lloyd

Re: scanning negatives

[Skehan Adrian]

I have seen it done by constructing a small box of Melamine with a  
globe inside, masking it to suit the size of the negative and sitting  
it on top of a scanner and It worked a treat.  I cant remember the  
finer details so you may have to experiment a bit with the power of  
the globe.

Adrian

I think I can still get a reasonable price on the 35ml from Big W.

The Hassleblad negs could be done via a photographer to make a proof  
sheet that could be scanned. (It's another option)


So, not having any experience with negative scanners, and thinking  
it might be the cheapest option to buy one and do them myself,
what do they actually do differently than the usual scanner? How do  
they work  why is it so?

Re: scanning negatives

[Mark Secker]

flatbed scanners seem to do a good job with medium format stuff... 
these days even a professional quality flat bed scanner is under the 
$500 mark though make sure you get it with the back light 
lid.  and a good scanner is  handy for other stuff (prints with 
missing negatives... scanning art work etc etc etc ) so  a nice 
toy to have anyway

I don't always (hardly ever) agree with what Ken Rockwell writes but 
I'd trust him on the film scanner stuff  as he is a ardent film snob 
(he does use digital but he's still a total film snob, particularly 
with large format film).
