dib Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 My father in law wants to duplicate a number of photos from his WW2/Korea/Vietnam service. I am currently looking at a Canon Canoscan flatbed scanner. Any input would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're negatives, I *HIGHLY* recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...ronics&n=507846 I bought one a few weeks ago and it works really well; I'm still learning the ins and outs.

Thailog80 Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I have one it serves the purpose. I picked it up at Staples on sale for 50 bucks six to eight months ago and it works fine. Whats the hub bub on Wanny this morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I'd look for a scanner that incorporates ASF's ICE technology. Part of the technology involves hardware in the scanner, so you can't just go buy the software. I know Microtek's do, and I believe some Epson's will as well. It will reduce creases, tears, etc. It's not perfect, but it will make the pictures look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dib Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 Whats the hub bub on Wanny this morning? Thanks guys. No news on Whinestadt. Speculation yesterday was that he'd be a vapor trail by this morning. The latest is that firing him now wouldn't solve anything, however I expect that in December Whinestedt will be applying for a job at Our Lady of Perpetual motion as the head J.V. coach.

stuckincincy Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Some personal negative input - don't buy Visioneer. Epinoins, below, is a decent all-around consumer products site and a good starting point. but there's a bit to figure out when it comes to scanners. Avoid jerk stuff like Visioneer, which uses it's own propriaritary format. You want something that produces common formats like jpeg and gif. http://www.epinions.com/cmd?tab=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
