I’ll keep an eye on this discussion board. My cousins will get a really nice Christmas present in the form of several CDs (if I don’t go insane from sitting behind 3 PowwerMac computers and Epson scanners.) I feel compelled to archive all the tin-types, photos, negatives and documents because so much info can be lost so easily. My dad’s cousin did all the footwork and now that she is 82 (my dad is a spry 84 year old who still drives a motorhome all over- not to worry- he drives better than most 20 year olds BTW-) she doesn’t have a good grasp on what all this technology can do in order to preserve the hard work she has done over the past 30+ years. I have to confess, that I was not instrumental in this project, I’m just keeping the Epson scanners very warm as I archive everything. I’m having such a grand time scanning thousands of documents and photos from my family that go back to Scotland in the 1600s. – Control Software for Macintosh OS 8.6 or higher – Control Software for Windows 98, Windows 2000 The Dimâge Scan Dual II comes with the following items: – Dimâge Scan Dual II Film Scanner This combined with a 12-bit A/D conversion, Minolta’s Color Matching System and precision autofocus makes this unit an ideal choice for anyone looking for a high-quality, affordable scanner.

Minolta dualscan IIi is $279, refurbed at the Minolta website. Those are big plusses when you have a lot to scan. A dedicated film scanner will be much faster, though, with better resolution. I have the Epson 2400 and I’m satisfied with its results on the few negatives I scan. However, even with the 2400 flatbed, the Epson driver will do the conversion from negative to positive for you ( so you won’t have to invert in Elements ). Robert gives good advice on getting a dedicated film scanner. Menwhile the EPSON 2400 is not a good solution for film scanning. I stopped wasting my time with films on this Epson 2400, and when the merjet will offer a better film scanning device, I will get back to this process. Third – if you play with these higher resolutions you ought to use the USB 2.0 I/O of the scanner, but that speeds up only the transmission of the captured data, not the scanning itself. Scond – the colors I get are really off… – all of them. My experience with scanning film negatives now on the Epson 2400 – Not Good !!!įirst, it is incerdibly slow on the 2400 resolution. The reason I got it rather than one with a lower resoluition was the need for high resolution for Negative Scanning. Three weeks ago – I bought the Epson 2400 (on sale at the time at Staples with a $30 rebate, wasn’t all too bad).Īfter years of using HP scanners – I found this one better, and faster for paper prints. mainly, I’m interested in scanning color nagatives and slides, and I think the quality would be identical with each scanner. I’m under the impression that the 1260 will do everything the 2400 will do. I have an opportunity to purchase an Epson 2400 PHOTO. I have an Epson 1260 scanner that I like.
