Point taken on the type of file for stoorage. Yep, I was doing it in Jpg
Last night I tried out the new soft on some colur film. My 3170 is not turning out very good pix from the negative colour film. Nor are the slides as good as the 4490. It's strange because the reflective scans are very good. I will indeed download some of the instructional software. B & W negs are good.
Does the demo always mark the scan with their logo? I'm not surprised they would do this, but I just thought that on one occasion, it left the pic unmarked. Also which package would be the best to go for? I gather there is not much difference in price for the top one.

My son called me from Austin the other day and mentioned that there was such a device for sale there. One of his pals (a D70 owner) had a father that took thousands of slides in Vietnam. He is determined to scan them, but needs an almost automated system.
I mentioned the concept of projecting them and snapping them off the screen, and we thought it was worth a try. My problem is that my projector and screens...and most of my slides are in the UK. ....so, nothing has been done by me.
While packing up my house, we spent an evening with friends. We chilled out looking at shots from 25 years ago, having pulled the screens out of the attic. Some of our guests, saw their young selves...so did one new wife!
The fact is, that a good screen image is stunning, I had forgotten just how good. The slight distortions in the canvas would be a small price to pay for at least getting the stuff backed up. In the future, a more precise system might be used. You could probably ‘snap' at least one every two seconds.
