My wife has decided that we need to scan about 10,000 35mm slides and put the images onto some sort of computer media. Oh boy. Lucky me... I ordered an Epson v330 photo scanner for $99 to do the job. I hope it works okay. Of course, if it doesn't, I'll just take it to the shooting range...

A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

"The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J. Jystad, 2001Huge Job, John... I went through this about 3-4 years ago. Bought the slide scanner, but didn't like the quality and it was really slow. Ended up buying a cheap adapter for my SLR camera. This turned out to be a lot quicker and the results were a lot more consistent. I also found that for the consistency, I used a small floodlight with a semi transparent white screen to get even lighting.

Does the same apply to co-workers?

This one does four slides per scan (if I let the supplied software do it), and it takes 10-15 minutes per scan to crop/slop the slides. It's going to be hell... Yeah - 28 hours is about right... I'm gonna wear out the hinges on the lid.

Fear and Love are pretty much the same thing... So yes, he "loves" his wife. :)

Consider that she has equal access to - and is familiar with - all of the firearms in the house. Yeah, it's love... :)

"The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J. Jystad, 2001I did something similar recently, resist at all costs the urge to go too high on the resolution, it's just not worth it and makes the whole operation hellish.

Isn't this the point where you're supposed to decide that a more expensive scanner with an automatic feed chute whose cost you can largely recover by reselling it after you're done is the only sane approach?
3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18
It might come to that if I make her do the scanning, and remind her every day that we're one day closer meeting the must-ship-by date in order for the finished product to reach the intended recipients.

That sounds like a better plan except that if you were planning to spend her time discussing the time/money tradeoffs before buying an entry level scanner might have been a good idea.
3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18
She learns by doing. :)
