Re: Scan a roll at a time

2009-10-12 by john

I have the Super Coolscan 4000 ED and it has the roll film adapter for scanning an entire roll. I've never used it though. It would be a nightmare of dust and scratches. The only thing I would consider using it for would be like automating small files for web display where you are using massive dust and scratches filtering for auto cleanup.
