Sure you can. For $199 you can get the new MC-7 Spider from Color Vision which is quite a nice, accurate and fast device. Wow, that's almost reasonable :) Half what I believed was the entry level, anyhow, so thanks. Regards Tony Sleep http://www.halftone.co.uk - Online portfolio

Does anyone have a Microtek ScanMaker 5 that they can do a test with? I've gotten a report that VueScan 6.1 works with the ScanMaker 5 in 24-bit mode, but not in 48-bit mode, but the person who did the test is away for a week. It would be helpful if someone with one of these scanners could turn

I am interested in any experience or opinions on this scanner, which looks like a substantial upgrade from the original Dual. Comparison with Canoscan 2710? I have seen the tech specs, which look pretty similar. I have not seen much on the Minolta products here; are they unpopular for

Does the Canoscan FS2710 have ICE?? If so, was it Nikon technology? Is it the same in every scanner? Meaning if a scanner has ICE, is it universal in what it does? (apologies for being late I was on vacation!) Ed The

I was going to sit this one out and watch what happened, but (since it's what I use) the conclusions that are being formulated about the Pol4000+Vuescan mostly do not accord with my experience. The picture is emerging of a scanner which blows highlights, isn't particularly sharp, and produces
