I need to rent a film scanner but no one rents them in
Cincinnati.

I'm really, really disappointed with the Picture CD
results from Target.  I gave them 3 rolls of concert
photos to do and it was a waste of money.  They were
all blurry and even the skin tones of the flash shots
were ruddy.

They didn't even rotate the verticals and the balance
was really awful.

I admit that the available light shots need a big
correction as I used daylight C-41 under tungsten.
I've been getting much better results with my simple
film scanner attachment (at 1200 dpi) for the flat bed
scanner but I've spent hours just scanning the first 9
frames of the 7 roll project!

Does anyone have any ideas, besides buying a dedicated
and *automated* film scanner?  I need to be able to
set up a correction, feed it a strip of 4 (now that
everything's been cut!) and walk away.

I may have to buy a scanner at MicroCenter.  Other
ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Jim

I would not think that Target is your only option to have a photo CD
done.  If you have lots of time on your hands, though, get a scanner.
