[Techtalk] getting quality photo scans

[Carla Schroder]

Thanks everyone! That's a lot of very useful information to digest. I'm 
scanning prints, not negatives, since the negatives vanished long ago. If I 
still had them I'd send them to a photo lab and have a bunch of prints made.

My Epson claims an optical resolution of 1200 dpi. It could be my expectations 
exceed what's technically possible. I want to make both Web images and 
prints, so I'm going to visit some stores and torture some salespeople and 
see what other scanners can do.
