[filmscanners] Re: Flatbed Scanners to the rescue :-)
"Dieder Bylsma" cited the NYTimes article about scanning contact sheets
to rescue images where the negatives had been destroyed. Note they used
a drum scanner to do this scanning:
"Quad used its highest-quality upright drum scanner, an $85,000 machine
called the Heidelberg's Prime Scan 8400, to turn the photos into digital
images, at 350 dots per inch. Then it used Photoshop to match the tones
to those of actual prints made during Mr. Lowe's lifetime.").
Maybe an EverSmart flatbed scanner (~$25,000) would do the same thing,
but both are a long way from what we think of as flatbed or film
scanners.
