as fate would Have it. I had purchased the last film scanner they had and I
need to get all 436 slides Scanned, printed, and put on CD's before Christmas. So I traded it in for the most expensive flat bed scanner they Another easier way as a reminder to those that don't bother to search www.deja.com for past posts on this topic is to throw the entire lot of slides at any local photo print shop that has a digital printer (eg. Noritsu), and simply have them scan it all onto CDs. It'll probably cost you $0.50-1.00 per frame in bulk, but it's fast (they've got far faster scanners that do ICE than we do), convenient (you can sleep while the operator(s) works), and does the job well (they already have been trained to do color correction, etc. to get you a nice scan). All of this could have been done and finished by the time you spent buying one scanner, running back, then getting another and trying to figure it all out. -- Another faster way? Slide adapter attached to the lens of a compatible digital camera. eg. Nikons often have slide adapters for many of their higher-end models. Simply feed in slide, push the shutter button, eject and repeat. This can get you images far faster than most other options by yourself, and if the top-notch quality (ie. Minolta 5400 ICE'd scans at top resolution + photoshop retouching & correction) isn't necessary, then this is the fastest way available for home consumers. --- Quite a few times this same thing has come up (eg. one guy was asking about scanning in WWII photos or something like that), so there's many good solutions that'll get you scans faster and better. |
