Re: Peak Imaging CD Quality

Hi JD - welcome to the zoo that is the AP forum.
I shoot neg and use Peak for processing with (nearly) excellent results. Just when I think they're great something goes wrong. a strip of my last set of negs had a couple of bad scratches and drying marks as if something went pete tong somewhere. Nothing photoshop can't hide though.
For experiments, I use Boots 1 hour service on the highstreet. Sometimes pretty good, often very 'warm' prints but fine.
In my experience, you probably only want to scan a few frames off each roll, and if you shoot loads (go on!) paying £7 a time can really add up. I went for a dedicated strip film scanner (Nikon Coolscan) at about £400 - that's only 50 odd rolls worth and you can use it on your 'old' film too of course.
The Nikon does 135MB scans at 14 bit...that should be plenty!
Good luck
