You might also search for the Powerlook III, the Heidelberg Linotype-Hell Saphir Ultra and Ultra II, or the Microtek Sanmaker 4,5, or 8700. I'm sure it will provide more than adequate image quality for contact pages, and $100 is a great deal for the convenience it offers IMHO. If you're more patient than I, you could probably find it for less. I'm just now awaiting shipment of a Umax Powerlook II flatbed scanner w/ 8x10" transparency capability that I bought off Ebay for this purpose for $100. The disadvantage is that you would not have a 1:1 mapping between contact sheet image position and negative position in your folders. I suppose you could select minimum quality scans, no output files and just create contact sheets by feeding all your film through the scanner. I know it's not much better if you weren't planning on scanning all those images but you have a film scanner and perhaps you were. You can change the directories of the output files, sizes, and many of the settings for the contact sheet such as images per row, whitespace between etc. When I scan one image I have it set up to create one TIFF and one JPG and to append a thumbnail of the new image to a the contact sheet that exists in the root of my scans directory - after scanning a roll I copy the lot to a CD and clear the directory for the next one, when a new contact sheet is begun. If you scan with Vuescan () it will output images in multiple formats and also append a thumbnail to a contact sheet. I'm open to buying equipment toįacilitate this (like a bona fide lightbox), but would like to cap (Minolta DiMage Scan Dual III), but neither seem optmial for creatingĬontact sheets in a hurry. I have aįlatbed scanner (Epson Photo Perfection 1660) and a film scanner Preferably something that will give better quality results. My question is, is there an easier and quicker way to to this? Photoshop to get an acceptable image-see the example below, before Take a picture of it with my digital camera, and then process it in The preserver page against the monitor (don't have a lightbox yet!), My current method of creating a contact sheet "snapshot" is to put Resembling a contact sheet, and then go through them later and pick Take a quick "snapshot" of the preserver page to get something Point, is first to organize them into PrintFile archival preservers, My 35mm negatives going back years and years (most of them withoutĬontact sheets or even prints at this point). I'm in the process of (just starting out, actually) trying to archive
