Hi everybody,
Sorry for the OT post,but I need some help from the computer experts around here. And if there are any photographer/digital experts, even better. Here's my question:
I want to buy an Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED, which is a very high end/high res. scanner, that I will use to scan my 35mm slides into the computer. Then I will use Adobe Photoshop if needed to Adjust the colors etc. to get a print that comes as close as possible to my original slide. OK. Now my actual question is this: If I scan in my slides with this wonder scanner, fix them up with photoshop, and put them on CD, will a digital printing place be able to simply print my work with a minimum of adjustment(to get optimum results), or am I better off buying my own photo-printer----keeping in mind these prints must be exhibition grade, and be printed on paper that will last a long time (decade(s)). WHEW! That was a long one!
If anyone knows of a good forum where I could pose this question, I would appreciate the link
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions
What's this have to do with khukuris? Well, I'll finally be able to post some pics of my blades/cutting things up. PLUS I'll finally be able to send Terry Sisco some Jpegs for his website of the sheath he made for my 18" AK!
