If you scan unexposed film, it has to be scanned with light that the film is not sensitive to. This leaves the rest of the spectrum (IR, UV, radio (electromagnetic, electrostatic, and magnetic). Personally, it sounds like a joke. In any event, you would want to store the real images for backup or archival purposes, so you would want the film developed anyway. Now onto real life, would it be best to get a high res scanner like the Artix AS4000t, or go for a lower res scanner that has the oversampling and digital ICE. Assuming Vuescan would support the Artix, I would say the oversampling is not an issue. The digital ICE is for poorly maintain film, which I don't have. I think I'd go for the higher resolution of the Artix for the same price. -----Original Message----- From: owner-epson-inkjet@leben.com [mailto:owner-epson-inkjet@leben.com]On Behalf Of Michael Greer Sent: Saturday, October 30, 1999 8:39 AM To: Epson Inkjet Subject: VERY Interesting Film Scanner Rumor Minolta has announced the release of a new scanner, the Dimage Scan Elite. It's specs are almost identicle to the Minolta Scan Speed (2820 max. dpi, 3.6 dynamic range, 36 bit color, etc.) save two important additions. It multi samples up to 16 times, and it includes the Digital ICE technology currently only found in the Nikon LS-2000 One of the articles on page 11 entitled "Can Digital and Traditional Photography Come Together?" included a very interesting rumor. Jonathan Sweetwood, the author of the article, claims to have heard rumors about a scanner in R&D that will allow a user to scan "exposed, but unprocessed film. - Please do not include an entire message in your response.
