Slide Negative scanners?

There's other slide-only scanners available, like HP Photosmart S20, that are USB native. The SCSI versions were better than anything before USB , and were popular for Macintosh (which was the image-processing tool of choice 10 years ago, and heavily SCSI based). The big issue is software, because MacOS of the 1990s is not software-compatible with anything today. The current OS (10.5++) won't run the OS 8.x or 9.x code. After digitizing the slide, your software package has to make a .jpg or other compressed image file. If you want software for scanning, \consider the SANE Scanner Access Now Easy) open source softwares http://www.sane-project.org/ Alas, the ES-10S model is listed as 'unsupported' there. I kinda like the backlight version of a flatbed scanner (mine is Epson Perfection Photo 2480) for slide and negative digitization (with the factory software). |
