Description:
|
Scans 35mm slides or film strips at up to 3200 dpi. Uses plastic media carriers that hold four mounted slides or a strip of 6 negatives. An optional carrier is available for a roll of APS film. The included CD has software for Windows & Mac OSX. Minolta doesn't support Linux for this scanner, but there's a third-party shareware program called VueScan from www.hamrick.com that seems to have all the capabilities of the Minolta program, plus some improvements. The scanner records at 16 bits per color (48bits/pixel), which gives you the depth needed to rescue the detail from those really dark areas of your photos. ScanVue supports that depth. Registration is $49 (or $89 for free upgrades for life). Unregistered copies do everything the registered copies do, except that images saved to disk have dollar-sign watermarks on them. But it's easy to set up and install for testing. One note about installing VueScan: have the scanner connected and turned on when you first start the program, so it can detect and calibrate the scanner. (Skipping that step can be corrected easily by deleting one file and restarting.) VueScan also handles many other scanners and has versions for Windows and Macs.
I have over 200 photos from my Scan Dual IV on a mountaineering site called www.summitpost.org. For a quick sample, see http://www.summitpost.org/mountains/...untain_id=3968
for photos of Snowpatch Spire, in Canada. These were scanned at 800dpi, tweaked for color balance, reduced to the 650 pixels the website allows, and sharpened again.
