As someone who has been spending many hours recently scanning prints, negs and transparencies, I would be interested to know what type of scanner you are using and the soft that gives that choice. I have not seen such an option with the Epsons.

I tried a 4490, $270 from Staples, (PC World best buy ) and it was quite good, but the 35mm film holders were total tatt. I returned it entirely because of this very, very poor plastic molding.

To fill a gap, I purchased a 3170 refurb for $70 with free delivery. It is fair, but the colours seem to need tweaking more than the 4470. The film holders are perfect. How could Epson have made such a backward step?

PhotoShop Elements are bundled with both machines.

this has been reduced too much for photobucket to be of much use Johnson Space centre

I am seeing some pics of my mother and me that were poor prints or even just dirty negs until now. My collection of transparencies are without a doubt, the best carriers of data. The ordinary colour negs are a tad disappointing.
