RE: [Digital BW] Diffusion sheet in scanner (was Re: 40" Print, How many Megapixels?)

2005-12-23 by Daniel Staver

Ah, you were talking about the Minolta version of the Scanhancer. I had the
Minolta 5400 before the Artixscan 120tf, and had the same results on that
one. Some films worked, others didn't. I don't really know why they would
have to simulate the results, they could just scan some Velvia with and
without the diffuser and you would clearly see the difference.

Try sending an email to Erik (the guy who's making the Scanhancer). From my
experience he's very friendly and very willing to work with you if you have
questions, ideas about how to use to Scanhancer or want to test it in a new
scanner.
