[Leica] Re: OT advice sought re Photo CD and Epson 1270

["Bill Lawlor" <wvl@infinex.com>]

I find myself on that slippery slope to the digital darkroom. I just
received scans of 175 slides on Kodak Phoro CDs and I have an Epson 1270 in
the unopened box i  the corner.

My questions are:

Is there a good online or book source to get me started using these tools?

Is there a preferred printing paper for the 1270?

Any tips I should know about?

My first examination of the Photo CD scans indicates at highest res there
are choices to be made of "source" and "destination" in Photoshop 5 LE. What
do those mean?
Color is scanned Provia slides seems better than K64 slides-too contrasty.
Is this real or an apparent difference on my monitior and system?

Any advice will be most helpful. Please reply off the LUG if preferred.

Thanks, Bill Lawlor
