Scanning photos onto one's hard drive - why are the photos clearerthan the scan
Hi,
Does anybody understand why when one scans photos off an Epson 1200 Perfection (not accurate I think) scanner the results are slightly less sharp than looking at the photo itself. I wonder if it's something to do with older scanner technology (it's a 5 year old scanner at least) or just a reality of scanning photos with consumer scanners. I assume that $1000 scanners used by ad agencies don't have this problem. If this is the wrong group to posts this to, does anybody know of a newsgroup that would be able to help? Thanks in advance. Regards, Patrick |

It is not the correct group - you could try: rec.photo.digital David There are some specific scanner groups such as alt.comp.periphs.scanner and comp.periphs.scanners (not the same group!) -- Paul (This is really happening, happening) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |
