[filmscanners] Re: Minolta 5400 scan Elite Tests
Thys,
In my few tests with it, I've found that manual focussing 'on-screen' rather
than using the knob on the front of the scanner seemed to give me much
better results.
And saving the files as tiffs with lossless LZW compression reduces them to
about a third.
