Hello,
I have taken on a project to scan 50 old lantern slides from a Mt McKinley
expedition in 1910. This is a not for profit organization I am going to be
working for and they don't have ton's of cash to spend on a scanner. With

I can't specifically comment on the scanners you mention, although I
know there have been some good reviews of the Agfa 2500.
You may wish to consider some of Epson's higher end flatbeds as well.
In terms of Microtek, you should know that they make many of the
scanners sold by other companies.

I agree this is an excellent idea and something I'd really like to see
in Vuescan. My Dual Scan 2 can not really benefit from multiple passes
To be a bit more specific, you can scan at 16-bit depth and Elements will open the
image but will convert it automatically to 8-bit depth.

John,
It is not an impossible task; but I think due to the thickness of the
lantern slides, you will need to use a flatbed with a transparency adapter.
The key question will be how big the intended enlargements and prints are
desired, which will indirectly impact on the amount of optical dpi
I am not an expert, but I don't believe any external USB hard drive would
be faster than an internal drive - I believe the internal drive would be
significantly faster.
Even though USB 2.0 promises very fast speeds, chances are that the USB
external drive is an internal IDE drive in a box with

I've stimulated brush talk again. So let me prolong this peripheral thread
a little. I got my brush sruck on the first try. Am I special? Thanks.

Joel,
It is a good idea to use the brush on a regular basis, say weekly.

I have a USB 2.0 Buslink hard drive, and although the drive's internal speed
is faster than my internal EIDE drive (7200RPM vs 5200RPM, or thereabouts),
in action it is only about half as fast, according to my CD writing

I'm investigating the blue negative image problem with my new Dimage Scan
Multi Pro, so I just downloaded the VueScan 7.5 beta. VueScan sees my Acer
SCSI scanner, but not the Firewire Minolta. Mine is on the list of supported
Firewire scanners for VueScan.
Does anyone have any ideas? Ed?

I understand, also, that RPM is more important that which version ATA your
internal drives are. That is to say ATA66 (if you don't have ATA100) is
probably fine with a 7200 RPM drive, because the disk is more likely to be
the bottleneck than the interface.

I'm sure Jack Phillips can give much more info on this, since his
company created dICE and licenses it. Also, as I understand it, there
is more than one version of dICE, and the newer version has apparently
been improved upon over the original.
As I understand it, dICE uses some type of
Regarding archiving... I don't wish to open the can of worms up fully,
but there is a good question as to if digital is a better method of
archiving than film.
Current film dyes are quite stable, especially if care is taken during
processing with archiving in mind. After that, keep the film in
