Aus, Art - Slide scanning. Been thinkng about a good slide scanner. Nikon or Polaroid. Been reading as I've never used one before. Seems to be that each slide takes about 3-4 mins to scan? I've got lots of slides and I'd like to scan them to digitize my family history; is there a service? I mean this could take a very long time. BTW I now have a Nikon 775 having had my old Coolpix stolen. It is as you knw a 2 MPxl camera. I made 10x8 prints with the old Nikon which was noly 1 MPXL. What i am getting at is that for me there is not very much difference so why go to the expense of a 4 or 5 MPXL camera? Best, L

Aus, the Epson printer mixes black with the three color inks in order to get slightly better contrast and depth in the results. The undesirable brownish tint results from the mixing of the black ink with yellows and reds. To reduce this tint, if you are using Adobe PhotoShop, you can reduce saturation of certain pigments. It's also a fact that because one cannot duplicate the entire spectrum of colors at the saturation levels of the original, certain sacrifices are made, mainly to ensure good skin tones. Thus, if you get good skin tones, chances are you'll find some undesirable tones elsewhere. If the color pigments were strong enough, they would produce a deep black by themselves (from the printing of cyan, magenta, and yellow on top of each other). The lack of saturation in these pigments is compensated for by the addition of black in shadow and other dark areas. Art
