What sort of data base setup do you use?
Something I put together myself using MySQL and a bunch of php scripts.
The best method I can think

long time. I'm going
through about 1,000 of my own at the moment and the 35mm stuff is
taking about 45 mins per slide for scanning, retouching and entering
its info into a database. Medium format is taking longer because the
files are about double the size and there's more dust

From the photo and video website and semi-automatic scanning
Mounted Slides to CD $5 scan fee, then $2.50 per slide
(their professional scanning was $10 per scan!!)
this is going to be very expensive... $5,000 ??
Better bet might be to try out a slide scanner on some sample slides
We had the same issue with my partner having several thousand slides.
I tried a flat bed Scanner (Specifically Epson Perfection 1650) with
transparency adapter and the results were not as sharp as we wanted.
If you have a digital camera for which you can get a slide adapter, then
this might be ok

y the cheapest option. I got a whole bunch
of slides scanned in when I was back in Ireland and the result was less
than impressing. I've also tried scanning them with a back light, and
that wasn't very impressive.
Projecting them and taking a picture was less time consuming, less

Sorry, should have mentioned the hardware: Athlon 2k and USB2 scanner. It is
normally *fast*, but what makes it slow in this case,
ou using the mustek parport driver for sane? It is slwww!
All the parport scanning stuff really loads the CPU, so if you have an
old CPU (like my 6x86 @ 120 MHz), a SCSI scanner makes a whole lot of
a difference!
And, just out of curiosity, how do you do colour correction? Do you

Sort-of...
Initially Epson didn't clarify which parts of the
package were covered by which conditions of the GPL
and lesser GPL, but there only happen to be 3 files
in the package that are proprietary.

I'm not sure. (How do you define 'proprietary' in this situation? I
don't know of any mirror site so perhaps it is in some sense
proprietary, although the download was free.) I tried again to visit
the Epson Kowa site to review the descriptions and legal notices but
still can't get there.

I don't know about better or best, but I have used AMaViS with Sophos and was
quite happy with it. I even had a script which would retrieve the latest
virus definitions without any user input.
I believe Sophos have now come out with their own package which will do away

I can't say that it might be better, but

on the server for viruses. I am aware of amavis. Does anyone have any other/better
