Digitalising Photos/Colour Slides
Posted: Mon Aug 24, 2009 4:09 pm
Hi,
I'm a real plod when it comes to Computer stuff (well lots of things really ) so maybe you can offer some help.
My last purchase was a Brother DCP-135C Printer/Scanner/Copier & even my tame Computer mate cannot find a way to stop the thing doing a full A4 scan every time.
This results in a massive file even when just scanning a standard size colour print, also a lot of work is then req'd to cut the result down to the req'd size
Is there a trick we've missed?
Another thing I would like to know is, is it possible to make good scans of 35mm Colour Slides using that piece of kit or is something additional/special necessary?
Cheers
John
