Paul:
Thanks for the compliment, but unfortunately, I don't deserve it. The picture
of autumn colours you refer to is one of the very first I scanned after getting
the SprintScan plugged in and set up, and I had virtually no idea of what I was
doing -- I just clicked the mouse and let 'er rip. The only "touch-up" was a
slight sharpening in Photoshop, and some downsampling to make sure that the
file sizes weren't too audacious. (I *have* since learned a few tricks to make
the scanner "sit up and bark," but nothing that would noticeably improve that
original Kodachrome scan I did.)
I just think the SS4K is a great scanner -- it can even make mediocre
photographers like me look really good!
