I guess I have a scanning question as well

[eric]

I currently use an older Epson 2450. I cut out my neg carriers so I can get that full frame look. Can any of the Minolta film scanners do that? I need to be able to scan full frame 35mm ... hopefully, automagically mode. Darn scanning takes too long.

Are you talking about the full frame look as in the entire portion of the strip, holes & all?

If so, I don't see a way. I'm scanning w/ my Dual IV right now & I don't think its limited to the film carrier, but the scan area itself. With a flatbed, the entire surface is a scannable area. With the dedicated film scanners, its designed to just scan the image area.

The KM website....sweet..why didn't I think of that? :) I figure, what the heck do these manufactures know anyway.

Hmmm, I wonder if my old Pentium III will work on the DSIV. At least GIMP does...sigh, computers, electronics....pretty soon, I'll need a Cray to power up my Photoshop.

Not sproket holes, just enough of the negative. Kinda like the way I have my neg holders filed down. But I don't need the roughness.

Then you will love the Minolta. All the images in my gallery here & my Analog Blog (http://analog.lifekapptured.com/) were scanned with it. I use a combination of the bundled software an Silverfast SE software. One usually works better than the other on a given image. Neither are perfect.
