I'm sorry to be critical, but any article on LL about film or scanning
seems to be so poorly written and shallow to be incomprehensable. It's
getting to the point where ANYBODY who has ever scanned a single slide
in the last three years is an automatic expert.
That said, there are nuggets of good information in there, but
overall, the advice is rather dodgy. A dead giveaway is that you have
to use an expensive piece of software to save the scan and get it to
work. Buying a latest/greatest software package is NOT advice. It's a
case of "I managed to get acceptable stuff, but here is the exact
items I used--if you use anything else, you're on your own because I
don't know why any of it works, just that it did this time."
