| 570065 | 2007-07-20 04:13:00 | My Epson came with an SE Version of SilverFast scan software. It does a great job of just plain photos or any images, but when i do slides or negatives i use the Epson software. The scanner came with several plastic holders for holding negatives or slides or photos so they all scan properly. It is 100% better than my old Microtek E6. I did experiment with my negatives and slides. Scanned at various resolutions and save all to TIF which holds a lot more info about the image than JPEG etc. Most of my slides are around 60-65Mb each in raw TIF format. I have done 3 x DL-DVD's of scans. I still have a lot of Negatives to scan but I am waiting until I get a decent lightbox so I can view which ones i want rather than just scan everything. Negatives of 7 years of travel I want to save while the negatives are still in reasonable condition. Some of the older ones are a bit faded already after about 20 years. |
