The B&W image was scanned from a print and looks pretty good (IMHO). However, the colour images are not very sharp at all. They look good under a loupe. Both of the scans are from mounted slides. I originally scanned one of them using as per the instructions, i.e. mounting the slide in the film holder, but this resulted in an even softer scan! These scans were done by placing the slide mounts directly on to the glass of the scanner, using the film holder as a positioning guide. The scans were originally done at 1200 ppi, sharpened in Photoshop elements using the unsharp mask and then resized (with resampling) before being converted to JPG format. I have RTFM'd and I can't find anything in the Canon literature to indicate what I'm doing wrong. Any help or advice, plus feedback on the images on or off list would be greatly appreciated.
