Happy Holidays Folks, 1) How does the latest generations of Nikon scanners compare to the latest but inexpensive services of a custom lab generating a PRO PHOTO CD of 4000dpi--both 35mm and MF?
2) Which yields the maximum information to digital via very good to high quality scanning (dmax > 3.2)--slide or print film? I know print film is more easily scanned by flat bed devices? 3) What list do I go to get answers to such questions as "How do I correct a facial portrait taken with a normal lens to make it seem as if it were taken by a longer portrait lens?" or "How do I correct for light fall off in my extreme wide angle shots?" 4) When will pro labs offer Photo CDs for 35mm slide and MF slides and negative development? This has already become ubiquitous for 35mm color print film. 5) In the case of color print Picture CDs, the initial information captured has the advantage of being FREE of any scratches or dust--assuming a competent lab. Could this initial 1000dpi/3-5 meg file act as a base to be "compiled" against a subsequent, high rez scan (4000dpi +) to remove any later scratches or dust found? Thanks. Alex
