Re: VERY Interesting Film Scanner Rumor

["Richard N. Moyer" <dickmoyer@earthlink.net>]

<x-flowed>Not chemically processed film as we know it today! There is no image 
anything electronic - like a scanner - can see. Plus, there are a 
variety of processing methods for conventional film, just to get an 
image, let alone some electronic device somehow deduce what might be 
there, all without destroying the image through some lazer, or other 
radiated spectrum emission so that you would have nothing left when 
the cartridge is withdrawn.

If the image is electronically inscribed, then why would it need to 
go through a scanner - if it is already digitally encoded?

Mike, I am afraid I need just a little more technical stuff to give 
this even a remote chance of reaching fruition.
