Hello folks
I normally use trani stock but need to do some photography using neg film

and seek your opinion as to which neg films to use through an Acer

I also have a tramline problem in these deep shadow areas. Are the cen
Remmember that Sony is the only monitor that supports the Trinitron mask,
which gives you better image clarity than any other shadow mask technology.

You shouldn't look at specs only. Take a look at scan from those both
scanners.
My conclusion is
I ibserved a strange phenomenon while applying compression to my tiff files

I scanned a photograph on my flatbed with 16bit color, RGB and at 1200dpi

When I applied LZW compression the resulting file was... 125MB!

He wants 20 years. My 20-year-old slides and negatives have
degraded enough that they need Ed's roc, and are generally not as 'good
as new.' I think the digital resource is more reliable, if proper care
and storage, and regular renewal are carried out.

Hi, Mark--
I tend to disagree--storage *is* a scanning issue in the Real World. You
have to put them somewhere, and Hard Drives are fallible, too.

DVD-RAM. Not enough info, IMO, but a start. DVD holds a lot of data (up t
What you are getting is basically a raw scan. If you are going to do this,
making corrections and adjustments later in an image editing program, you
should probably make sure that you are getting high bit 16 bit linear scans,
which will involve selecting that option in the Minolta software driver
In Minolta's language, the 16-bit lineal is a pure and simple raw scan using
no gamma corrections or any other tone, color or inversing corrections at
all, including any corrections for color negative masks; the 16-bit scan
does do some basic corrections like autofocus ( if selected ), gamma

It very well could be that the clock and harddrive recognition are based
soley on battery power all the time and do not use power cord power at all,
which would account for the clock slowing down if the batter is going dead
even if the computer is plugged into an active power source.

Hi, Mark--
Don't know about Minolta's native driver (and my Acer's Raw scans aren't
very sophisticated), but Vuescan does a very good job of outputing Raw
scans.
I tend to agree with you--if you're going to correct in the image program,
what's the point of correcting in the driver program? Or

I ordered my upgrade, also only to discover that I couldn't use the SN I had
just bought. I'm monitoring my VISA account carefully. If Lasersoft charges
it before getting a functional version for download, I intend to report them

They are on the same interrupt (11) in my computer, but Windows just does that. They
are under the control of PCI IRQ Steering, so it may not matter.
