I am trying to offer some advice to someone doing volunteer work with a small town library which has a special collections archive of 40,000+ negatives. The library is considering the possibility of putting the collection into a digital image database. The volunteer already has a 486 DX2/66 computer and is in the process of learning Photoshop 3.0.I am not sure as to the sizes of the negatives, but I assume they are larger than 35mm. Has anyone had experience with transparency adapters for flatbed scanners? The HP ScanJet IIcx has an optional transparency adapter, though it is rather expensive. I would like to know what quality one might expect from this type of setup and if there are any other better alternatives.
Thanks,
David
