Slide Scanners
Can anyone recommend a good Slide/Neg scanner? I have been reading lots of reviews and am still confused. The Canon FS-4000 seems pretty impressive, but the Nikon Coolscan 4000 ED was always on my list until I read a review that said you can't get a sharp scan from the center of the slide to the edge. Please help I would like to purchase this asap. Others I have seen are Microtek and Polaroid. Most of the retouching I have been doing lately are for Model portfolios so these scans have to be very sharp. Of Course, the price is also a consideration. I am so tired of labs sending my scans back with bad color and missing body parts, because their scanners could not do a better job.

What are your general requirements for enlarging?..8x10...larger? I have read nothing but good things about the Nikon Coolscans...where did you read that review? I don't think you can go wrong with the Canon though...very sharp 4000dpi scans for right around $1000. There was a thread some time ago here about the Nikon ES4000...also Jeanie has a Minolta Scan Elite and seems to like it. -
My general requirements for enlarging would be 8x10, but occasionally I would like to scan so that final output could be larger. I read the postings from the link - thanks. I wonder if they are still very happy, its been several months.Comment

Has anyone tested several scanners or seen the test results with the d-max listed?
I don't need to hear what the corps. say. They lie about their d-max.
I have to wonder how well the quality holds up upon...08-08-2001, 11:33 AM -
I am just starting in the photo retouching area and where I'm probably most clueless is in input and output. I've got a ton, and I mean a ton, of old family slides of which some I'd like to get on to my computer to retouch, fix, etc. Can someone be kind enough to lead me in the right direction?

I have two goals in mind. First, I want to scan a large collection of family slides. I will use this project to learn about how to scan slides.
Second, I am hoping eventually to offer a slide scanning service.
I'm trying to figure out what equipment to buy. I've been reading...11-29-2009, 11:26 AM -
I'm going to be purchasing a new scanner soon. The one I currently have does not scan negatives or slides. I don't want to purchase a sub-standard product. Any (expert) opinions would be most appreciated. Thank you!

I have a scanner (HP scanjet 4600). It does not have an adapter typically used for scanning negatives and/or slides. I would appreciate any tips from those knowledgeable regarding scanning that might assist me in getting a decent result. Thank you!01-11-2006, 03:37 PM
