[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Jerry I tried to Google ION scanners to see if I could help. I got a rather unexpected result! Is the present giver your parole officer??!!! ;-) Make sure you put the 2PC in the search everyone. Once I found some info on the film scanner (not the cocaine scanner!), it looks like it is nearly automated. One of the new generation using a digital camera sensor and meant to be really simple to operation for the average home user. It has simple photoediting software with it which should work for to start you out. I would make myself a new folder for scans on my computer and just try a few scans on full automatic. It sounds like the default settings will give you a scan suitable for a print up to maybe 8x10 or a file you can downsize if you want to post photos on-line. Let us know how you go.

As have said before, I am a photo digital idiot. I do have thousands of slides and negatives, some of which I would like to scan and send. Do any of you people know of this scanner? As a starter. I do NOT want to invest in P'shop or L'room yet. The ION 2PC came with a software CD or DVD and a PRINTED MANUAL!! Can you experts give me some advice? Or should you talk me out of this?
