Hi Dirk,
Thanks for a great site.
I mention these links in my post in the Nikon scanner thread, but you might add these links to your digital list:
This site belongs to Tony Sleep, a photographer in England. He's got very professionally-done reviews of almost every film scanner on the market. Because of the way his site is constructed with frames, I can't give a URL that links directly to his film scanner pages, so you'll need to navigate to them. This is a terrific resource for anyone shopping for a film scanner.
I also want to recommend VueScan software. It will work with most film and flatbed scanners. Steve, in your case, you might be able to use this program for both scanners.
This is a great replacement for the software that comes with many scanners; it may have more features than the original software had. It works with both Mac and PC.
Also, here is a little page I wrote for a watch-collector's site, with some simple Photoshop tips for preparing digital images on the web. This might be helpful for people posting their photos:
Take care,
- Paul
I personally like the Polaroid scanners much more than the Nikon models - seem my comments on the Nikon thread in this same section. My Polaroid scanner seems to work well with images from Contax cameras
