I've got a few hundred 35mm color transparencies that I'd like to get in a digital format. I ran across
ScanCafe.com, and I have read the fine print (outsourced to India), but I'm planning to send at least some of my non-critical images on a trial run. Anyone have any experience with this place?
If everything goes well, I'm also considering having some of my best images (Nikon glass, ISO 100 film) scanned at their highest offering, 4000dpi in TIFF format. The huge file size and higher cost, though, make me wonder if I really need this quality. The "standard" service is 3000dpi in compressed JPG format. I should also mention that I don't have a digital camera and only very basic software. I'm mostly interested in archiving my images and being able to view and share them, something I can't do with them now. Any help or insight would be appreciated.
