Re: filmscanners: BWP seeks scanner

I won't argue that CCD scanners do not typically capture the resolution I am referring to. In discussions with Phil Lippencott several years ago, he indicated to me that a properly captured 35mm Kodachrome slide (I'm not recalling if it was a 25 or 64 ISO film) could produce a close to 150 meg fi

Hello all. This lurker is going to retire his old Scan Dual and has decided to go with either the Coolscan IV or a Scan Elite due to budget restrictions(there seems to be a fire sale on Scan Elites right now). A used/refurb 4000ppi model is not out of the question but ICE would be nice ;) O

Tony There are something else with VueScan just now if I compare VueScan to NikonScan and Silverfast. Little bit flat, doll and color less. I have send MR Hamrick 3 test pictures scanned by NikonScan, VueScan and Silverfast+ LS2000. Nothing more done than dragged to Photoshop and auto levels.

The flatness is good - it means that the highlights and shadows have NOT been clipped, and you can set those points wherever you wish in Photoshop or other graphics program. Maris - Original Message - From: "Mikael Risedal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, June 1
