I used VueScan with my Polaroid SS4000 scanner in place of the Polaroid
scanning software and have been very pleased with the results.

 

The question now of course is how much effort do you intend to put into your
own scanning?  You have to learn the hardware and the software otherwise you
will get the equivalent of fifty cent scans.  Believe me I know, been there
and done that!

 

Good luck!

Eric asked me what I expected for a dollar a scan. Well, I wasn't 
looking for perfection, but I did expect better than what I got. For 
example, an image which is so black it's unrecognizable, isn't 
acceptable...even for a dollar. What I've decided to do is invest a 
hundred dollars in an Epson V200. For that little money, I'm not 
expecting miracles. I'm also going to try using it with Vuescan 
software. Anyone able to compare the software which comes with an 
Epson scanner with that of Vuescan? Anyway I'm going to see if I can't 
come up with something better than what I got from the photo store. 
I'll report back. This turned out to be quite a discussion, ranging 
from wages in San Franciso to....hmmm, you name it. Thanks to everyone 
for their input...or should I say "output"?
