Re: [APML] Scanners



Bobby, do you mean I should get a good scanner and scan the prints? 
Then process them with a good image editor? I was a little confused 
by the message (it's Monday).

Thanks,

Donnie
Donnie, the HP Photosmart S-20 scanner is very good for negatives, not quite as good for slides but it's about as good as you'll get for the price range you give. If you are heading toward the direction of digital image enhancement then don't get the slides just for the sake of "the lab printing them right". You'll outdo the raw prints and slides by far with a good scanner and an image enhancement program like Picture Window or Photoshop. And it gives you the most control you will be able to get.

Hello. Based on my experience with print film, so far I have been considering shooting slide film. Based on what I have read on the websites of many. I like the idea of having more control over the final image. This way I dont have to rely on the lab to print them right.
My images right now, are destined for the web. I need a slide scanner that can creat good images for the web. Can anyone offer any suggestions for less than $300? 35mm slides.
I know that most here are used to working with "better" equipment, but for now this all the equipment I require. 
Thanks for any input,
Donnie
