It scans the wrong negative selected.... I want Number 2 it scans #3 or a blank space. I shut the scanner down, the computer down and restart everything including Photoshop and the same thing will occur three, four times in a row, then the fifth time it'll work OK. Now this problem isn't just with this new machine replacement, it happened with two other replacement machines, a new first purchase, a replacement while Polaroid tried to figure out what was happening, now the "new re-placement for the new purchased" machine. Only right now this one is the worst of the three. For every neg. I require scanning, I have to start the computer, Photoshop and the Polaroid soft ware and scanner to maybe get one neg. scanned. And with about 150 to do at the moment, I'm sure you can appreciate my utter frustration with this Mickey mouse piece of gear. Surely there's a scanner that I can buy, use it for a few years and it'll go without any screw-ups! Sure I realize there's always the human factor in any man made machine, but really ? Three scanners in a row having the same problem? Look, I'm wide open to maybe it's me!!!!!! Maybe I'm doing something wrong, however when I do get it working OK I get excellent scans of very high quality. It's just the damn inconsistency of operation that's killing me! :-( If anyone has any suggestions please send them along, as at the moment this situation is driving me to drink and buying another manufacturers scanner! ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
