Hi Michael, I have worked in that industry as well (drum-scanning). While at first glance, it seems a pretty sexy, high-tech gig... after a while it becomes *extremely* dull. Or at least for me it was... which is why I moved to something vastly more exciting: Corporate Finance... The bottom l

Howdy! I'm a brand new VueScan user. I'm also a Mac user. Can any of you Mac users out there tell me how you are bringing VueScan into Photoshop? With MagicScan, the image just opened right up into Photoshop. I'm under the impression that the "open to external window" VueScan option doesn't a

This is probably (another) dumb question. I shoot 95% 35mm, but occasionally shoot 6x7cm. I am about to buy a 35mm scanner (I have been sending film out for scans for the last year or so - Photo CD for most, drum for the most important work), but wondered if anyone has been able to reposition me

It can be done with the HP Photosmart scanner by not closing the lid all the way and feeding the MF film via the partially open lid. However, matching up the two strips is a lot of work since they may (read "will") feed-in at different angle. Asael www.DigitalPhotographicArt.com - Original
