    Re: Scanning Questions with samples

    I agree with Bruce's line of thought here. Yes, it's critical to have your focus point accurate for scanning and obviously you need a sharp piece of film. Having said that, viewing a scanned image...

    Bryan - Thanks!

    Brooklyn, Just for grins, I'm wanted to show an example of a recent scan. This can be printed ~28" on the long side at 300dpi. I personally would have no problems printing at...
  3. Re: Yet another Question Scanjet G4050 vs Epson V700

    I've had the G4050 since it came out and have scanned 100's of color transparencies (mostly in the Velvia family.) I scan normally at 1200, 2400 if I need anything bigger than a 20" print. I don't...
