Sorry that should have said ...I have seen the banding coming from very dark areas of a velvia slide if you turn up the brightness a long way in whatever image manipulation ... There, that sounds better.

Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent visitors to your Web site from stealing the images you display upon it. Jim's method is easily defeated (you can take a screen shot by pressing Print Screen and capture the image for later use, with or without a transparent GIF). The reality is that you

I don't know if you are using a Mac or a PC and I don't know how much dust and scratching you have to deal with. If you are using a PC, may I suggest before you sell your Minolta Dimage II that you consider downloading Polaroid's dust and scratch filter, which is currently free of charge and try

Look at it, but don't necessarily buy it ;-) The Minolta Multi Pro has received overall good reviews, but it does suffer from the same problems all the Minolta recent scanners seem to... exaggerated grain, dust and scratches and somewhat less effective IR clean up. But ultimately Ops is right

I suppose the special price that this software can at might in part explain the sparse instructions. Actually, maybe this is Polaroid's plan to its financial future ;-) The software is free but the manual is a couple hundred bucks ;-) There is, as you mention, a brief (terse?) manual in the

Owen, Thanks for your response. I wish the problem were that simple. I checked the indentations on the holder and they look intact. The Film strip holder has not been used much, anyway. If that were the problem, don't you think that it would delay also in calibrating scanner for preview scanning?

Vasilis -- I've had a similar experience after the SS4000 has been on for awhile and I'm using Viewscan. I eject the film holder and reboot both computer and scanner. That fixes it. There's no obvious consistency as to when the problem occurs and its not that frequent. The sounds the scanner

You can use an freeware program called twbatch.exe that write directily from the scanner to disk in tiff format. Very simple to use. You start to scan, go to dinner, and then you have your negs o slides in the hardisk. Look at http://www.goof.com/~mmead/TwainTiffBatcher/ Jorge Talkowski,
