[filmscanners] RE: The weakest link

["David Kent" <davekent@davekent.com>]

I concur... Definitely do not skimp on the scanner.  While a high end
scanner cannot guarantee the best output, it should give you the best image
to start with.  Just make sure that every piece of equipment in your
workflow is correctly color managed, and you should be fine.

The software end of things has very few options, IMHO though.  I would use
either Vuescan or the scanning software your scanner came with.  Then
there's the image editing software...  which should be Photoshop.  I don't
see any other option in that regard.

The most important is the scanner so that your input is of the best quality
possible.  You can always visually compensate for a poor monitor.  You can
always work on the image with whatever software you prefer.  And if your
printer is not good enough you can send it out for printing.

Which compnent is the weakest link in choosing an image manipulation system:
Is it the Video Card, The Software, The Scanner or the Printer?
If I buy a high spec filmscanner how can I guarantee the best result at the
other end i.e. is the scanner most cuicial and thereofre anything else can
prove to be a weak link. When a new printer comes along would my scanner
then become the weak point depriving me from the chance of a perfect result?
