Analogue scanners in
the digital world...
Analogue was yesterday, digital is today
– so do away with all slides, cameras
and accessories?
Hold on; there are some good reasons
to keep the proven technology – without
turning down the modern media.
• Slides offer a unique brilliance and
colour density.
• Slides are as versatile as hardly any
other medium.
• Common SLRs offer comprehensive
accessories, have become well-priced
and allow for a trouble-free handling.
Slide scanners – lent wings
to your camera...
A slide scanner in combination with an
analogue photo camera can be an inter-
esting alternative to a digital camera.
Since professional analogue SLRs still
excel their digital pendants by far, you
can easily sacrifice the minor deteriora-
tion in quality suffered when scanning
a slide or a film strip. The result will be
convincing anyway. Slide scanners are
also interesting for digital photographers
who have a large stock of slides which
they want to transmit to their computers.
On the following pages, we try to do
away with many factoids which have
emerged time and again. Besides, we
have tried to explain many correlations
as clearly as possibly. This starts with
automatic operation and does not even
end with zooming.
At the end of the catalogue, we inclu-
ded a glossary which explains the key
terms relating to scanning and image
editing.
Enjoy the reading.
