Re: filmscanners: Re: computers, scanners
Hi Paul.
First priority to me would be the input device.
Once you have bought it will last years and still be making good scans
when you have gone through several computer upgrades.
Any computer, Mac or PC will do what you want with your digital files
but your digital files need to be the best you can get to start with.
Have a look at the Kodak 3600 scanner.
You need to get a monitor which you know you can calibrate so your on
screen colours match your output,or visa versa.
Don't rush to part with your cash,there is always another bargain around
the corner.
fast image processing needs lots of ram,a large very fast hard drive and
a damn good graphics card.
Are you going to get that in a powerbook?
