I've been using my Sprintscan 35E/S for about 5 years now, with four generations of driver and scanner software, with excellent results. While I'm not as thrilled with the PolaColor Insight software as I am with the older Polaroid scanning application, it does a perfectly reasonable job for me. (It tries to be too automated ... I prefer twiddling the knobs myself... :) Anyway, try calibrating your screen with Photoshop first. Then be sure you've picked the correct input profile for scanner/film, and display profiles for your monitor. A little tweaking in the curves and tones selections and it should scan perfectly into Photoshop. All the pictures on my web page "Chasing Light" were scanned with PolaColor Insight and took only the barest hint of tonal adjustment with Photoshop. Godfrey <http://www.bayarea.net/~ramarren/>
