I am looking around for the best scanner to use to scan family photos for genealogy purposes. That way I can pass the disk around to my siblings and they can print out what they want from their own personal computers. I ran across a scanner that talks about scanning negatives and I’m curious as to why a scanner would scan negatives. What do you do with scanned negatives?
I have windows vista on my Acer Extensa 5420, and I have a HP Photosmart C4280 printer with a C4200 #6 scanner.
I have about 200 pages to scan, and it takes really long to scan each page. I need to scan each one as fast as possible. I am trying to edit the settings but the vista settings make it very tedious and annoying to modify the speed.
I know when I had this printer/scanner hooked up to an old dell with windows XP I could change it where the scanner scans the image in black and white and it came out so much faster.
Thanks for all your help!!

These paintings in the Ekain Cave, Basque Country (Spain) are from the Magdalenian Period. They are some of the most beautiful horse cave paintings in the Franco-Cantabrian art. The paintings are 12500 years old and are located in different galleries within the cave. The 3D Scanning was done by photomodeler Scanner from photographs.

It’s grounded French war planes, it’s convinced the U.S. government to put a 250,000 dollar bounty on the head of the creator, it’s stopping people from updating on Microsoft, downloading antivirus software, stopping virus scans, copying itself invisibly, spread itself all over the world in thousands upon thousands of computers in several countries, and as we speak it’s growing more and more resistant, and awaiting orders from it’s creator. Today is it’s launch date, and today people are on alert. Even Microsoft is spooked: http://www.microsoft.com/protect/computer/viruses/worms/conficker.mspx and though they claim that using their quick scanner, then downloading their Malicious Software Removal Tool, then downloading the update, experts and even governments are worried about it’s capabilities. But the infamous launch date has arrived (April Fool’s Day) and it hasn’t unleashed it’s wrath on us yet. So, tell me…Is it just one huge April Fool’s Day prank, and we should treat it like it’s Y2K, or should we really be preparing for the cyber apocalypse?
Nothing happened, but April 1st isn’t over yet. Also, people are convinced that even if nothing happens today, it doesn’t mean that this date wasn’t a decoy. April 1st may be a day for us to freak out, then let down our guard. But , maybe it’s the biggest prank since the Taco Bell Liberty Bell.

As a MRI Technologist with 15 years experience in diagnostic imaging, I can assure you beyond a reasonable doubt that the “body scan” machines will be virtually useless in detecting explosives.
Let me explain why. The macines use radio frequency “millimeter waves” to detect what’s hiding under your clothing. It is very similar to radar in that it bounces a pulse of rf at a 3d target and then a computer compiles the data into a 3d image that you can “see”. The reason it won’t work is because it only does a surface rendering of the object. Thus, if a pliable explosive were used and molded to the body or placed in a skin fold the scanner would never see it. Theoretically, you could smuggle literally POUNDS of high explosives through one of these gadgets without notice. What “will” work? Xrays in the form of a tomographic scanner. But that’s not going to happen because of the radiation dose and the cost. So, who benefits from body scanners? ahem….. General Electric and their ilk.
Take it or leave it. That’s the stone cold truth boys and girls.

Truthseeker, I’ll have to disagree with you on two points. First, backscatter machines like millimeter waves only offer a surface rendering. If you want to have contrast of density then you must use higer doses. Secondly, the dose in minute? How minute? How much exactly is “safe”? Perhaps you should google the Linear Non-Threshold Dose response relationship involving xrays. There is no “safe” dose.
