newbie here... just wanna ask if i were to ask the shop to scan my films, is it possible for them to scan it and save into my thumbdrive... cos CDs are a mess to me and will i get a cheaper charge for that... or maybe if i were can ask them to brun the scaned film into a CD-RW... so can save money on the CDs... any idea?

Technically yes you can ask the labs to save it to thumbdrive. But are you willing to leave your thumbdrive which might contain other confidential material over at the lab? Later they take away your thumbdrive and won't be responsible for that! :D

Scanning issues
Hello everyone, I have a Canon 4400F flatbed scanner in school. So I wanted to try it out, and HOPEFULLY I can save some money from scanning! Lets check out the results: Scan from Lab Scan from Canon 4400F I tried adjusting brightness/contrast, saturation/hue but I can't get the same results as the ones from Lab. I am using the software provided together with the scanner.(Photostudio 5.5) How actually can we obtain the satisfactory results similar to those scanned in Labs using a less-professional scanner?

Nice one Brandon. Nothing better than actual example. Really appreciate it :)

I found a CanoScan 8400F in my school! :D:D:D Yes, so I am trying to use Silverfast(as recommended) to do the scanning. I will then post up the results!
