Hi,
I'm looking to buy a slides scanner to digitize my (24x36) slides. Is there anyone on the list who can recommend a brand/model that is available in western Europe?
Not sure if it is available in Europe (I live in the US) but my Epson 1250 photo scanner can do slides.
I have a feeling that getting a scanner to work is still often a PITA and that many models are not supported (by SANE), also computer/photographics shops usually have a limited range of models on stock, making it difficult to find something appropriate.
This model can be set up by Yast and will work. But you will need to use a program called iscan to gain use of the TPU (Transparency Unit) and you will need to modify the sane.d file. I was able with the above scanner and iscan to scan in negatives and develop them via computer. Hope that this might help. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
