4X6 to digital
Went to Australia with my friend. She is an artist with a 35mm camera, and I
am a hack with a coolpix 990. Her photos are great but I want to be able to look at the photos when I want, not get an album out and make an evening out of it with flavored coffee. My question is this, is there a service that will take a bunch of 4X6 photos and scan them for you? I realize that I could get the negatives and scan them, but that would be another flavored coffee night. Rob |

I think most mini-labs like Walmart will do this in conjunction with a reprint order for a fee, and presumably can do this without doing a print order as well. I had Walmart make a CD in conjunction with my last film prints in 2001, and the sizes were 1536x1024. If you need larger sizes, then you presumably need to find a pro-lab, and/or do the scanning yourself (but as you mention, that can be a lot of work). -- Michael Meissner email: http://www.the-meissners.org |

But yes, keeping the flavored coffee out of it most developing studios offer a service where they scan the negatives, hand out a bunch of flavored coffee packets, oh, and put the scanned images on a regular, plain ole' CD in jpeg format, which you can browse to your hearts content. Might I recommend the 'hazelnut'. |

I guess I'd disagree with 'limited resolution'. At least for moderate
enlargements like 4 x 6, the good papers will give very good resolution. What prints lack is dynamic range. A print has only about a 50:1 dynamic range of brightness. A 4 x 6 print scanned on a good flatbed scanner can have a 3600 x 2400 resolution, far better than any digicam I can afford. In fact, at a 4 x 6, you are probably more limited by the negative.
