[pure-silver] Re: Scanning or duping

3 thoughts here.

If its a cheap scanner,

1) you may be able to get more dynamic range by combining multiple images from the digital camera, so thats a tecknical advantage for the digital camera.

 

2) Image capture via the camera may be significantly faster than scanning, so thats a workflow issue.

 

3) potentialy a high resolution scanner could capture a larger data file, and give you more data to play with, but the scanner would have to be well adjusted, and the resolution real and not "interpolated".

All the best

Hi Eric,

The main use is to create a digital file using 35mm negatives for printing digital negatives.  If have a full frame camera and my scanner is kaput, so why not use my camera.

I'd also add, whether or not there needs to be anything like dodge, burn, crop to be done. But first is, what is the intended use of said copy; To show, to print, to archive?

I think that's one of those questions that hasn't had a direct comparison made that I know of.  I think it would come down to which scanner you're going to use, and what the final use of the scan/copy is going to be.

HI,

What's better, scan a 35mm negative on a good flat bed scanner or dupe with a high quality digital camera and a  slide copier?

thanks
