      Now before all you techie folk with your pocket sized cameras scream digital, i have two digital cameras but i prefer to take my slr on holidays
      ie… no need to charge, no batteries, no cards to be bought if i get overly triggerhappy and frequently been able to sell one hi-res shot pays for all my development costs on the trip… the slr also drops better…

      anyway i normally use Pixels on Liffey Street who are great when the roll is undeveloped…

      but when the roll is already developed where should i get them scanned… one hour photo is out – see http://www.p45rant.net/boards/showthread.php?s=&postid=852520#post852520 for details and pixels charge by the frame not the strip so a roll of 36 can be expensive….

      just need to get a load of scans done of photos I took in Stansted in 1992 when it opened for putting on the site here…

      For prints you can now buy an excellent scanner very cheaply, less han 70 euros, which would be hard to beat for any service.

      A slide scanner might be worth the investment, for transparencies. – 2800 dpi is fine especially if you have access to Photoshop, 4000 dpi better if you have the money.

      Hard to find here, however, better choice and prices in London.

      Paul try Hacketts Photo Dept on Baggot St. They can run your strip through but I’m not sure how they charge… Most places charge for individual scans…. or see if your flatbed has a batch scan function..

      I do all of it myself, but i agree with you, it is time consuming and hard. Especially when you take scanning the actual pictures to the next appropriate level – individual correction!!! Check out my tutoria here:

      Apologises btw, for not having airbrused the old campaign posters out of the views of Dublin, but i must do that soon. LOL. Funny the kinds of things you can leave behind in a photo having been so focussed upon the colour/contrast etc, etc.

      If you are really desparate just email me, and i can scan your roll into my film scanner any time. Shouldn’t take my long, i can scan 6 frames as 4000 pixel resolution at a time, and burn the lot onto a CDROM in uncompressed TIF format. That is if you trusts me with your original negs! I am based here in Dublin, so i would be delighted to help out.
