Digiframe test

Hi

I've seen this little SCANNER (http://www.digiframe.com.au/ezyscan-photo-scanner.html) advertised on TV for awhile and wondered if would be any good for digitising some of the many post card sized prints I accumulated in my pre digital days. Just family stuff mostly. I eventually bought one earlier this week and here's some results if anyone was wondering. It does a reasonable job for the price and it's QUICK. It doesn't seem to handle pure blacks all that well and a bit of PS work is required to tidy up the scans. The end result is a 300 dpi file of about 6M.

But compared with trying to find the original negs in shoe boxes somewhere and then working out what the neg is actually of, and then putting it through the slow neg scanner and finding it's the wrong one or its scratched etc - it's good enough for what I want at the moment.

Here's a few examples

Cheers

Which scanner was it. this I think http://www.digiframe.com.au/. I have been wondering how good it is also

Looks like it does a good job with good photos alan. Does it turn c*** into good photos also? It is digital so i guess it would going by the stuff on TV. :rolleyes:

I have always wanted to go to malacoota.

Sorry Simon, the link should work now, but Ian has found it anyway.

Yes, you have to have good prints to start with :)

The ones I'm scanning at the moment are pre 1994 and have been in those horrible adhesive plastic sheet type albums.

Mallacoota was beautiful. I haven't been back since unfortunately - those old jetties have long gone I think

Cheers
