And an easy way to size the image and set its resolution. But a densitometer to read the preview and set the highlight and shadow are often missing. And we've come to pine for a software package that we could take with us as we upgraded hardware as well as one we felt comfortable using. Over the years we've gone from scanner to scanner - and from one bundled scanner plug-in to another.

We even liked the cover that hid the exposure, having been regularly blinded by carbon arcs. We could even type in an enlargement or reduction without pushing the lens into its bellows or the copy stand off the end of its track. And we could simply draw a marquee around what we wanted to copy instead of lining things up on the ground glass or the cheat marks on the camera back. We could sit down instead of run from room to room loading copy or film. So when we cabled our first scanner to a Mac SE, we were delighted. They could handle huge sheets of film and enlargements to 300 percent - which often wasn't quite enough. Or two rooms, really, if you count the darkroom behind them where you loaded halftone or line film. We came to terms with scanners a long time ago by thinking of them not as unwieldy photocopiers but as compact process cameras.Ī process camera is what newspapers and magazines used to rely on to make negatives of photo prints and page layouts.
