dammit, look what fell into my cart today

It happened again: today's thrifted slide/neg/print scanner is a Kodak P461. With the Kodak name on it, you would expect high quality.

But no, not quite, it was made by Pandigital in 2010, and they produced many fine products in the "best try" category. (Eight years later I still can't find my Pandigital e-reader that uses Android 3.) But with a $6 pricetag I can't complain about whatever I get. So this beast can scan prints up to 4x6 at 300dpi or 600dpi and slides at 1200dpi. The only things missing from this box are the manual (this is what the Internet is for) and half of the included MicroSD card, plus they pried the SD card adaptor open. Uh, okay, that's some pent-up aggressions there, so I'll just use one of my stray SD cards, thank you. Also included for some reason was a Targus SD card reader, so maybe that's just a swap or peace offering for the destroyed storage. Happily included are the calibration sheet, the slide and film adaptors, and the three cleaner accessories, along with the power cord and USB cable -- this scans to the SD card and runs on four AA batteries, but can be plugged into the wall and connected to the computer to either use the card as a memory device in My Computer or (with Kodak's drivers, which were on the destroyed card) saved directly to the computer. Another one of those "no computer needed, just give me a photo and I'll scan it to the card" doohickies. The difference between this Kodak (and last time's VuPoint) and most other standalones is this thing actually does scan rather than just take a photo. So you'd think the pictures would come out better?

Using the same slides for demo as I have used in the past...

Same issue -- despite scanning at 1200dpi they come out a bit jaggy despite the original being an analog film photo. Okay, so now let's try the print from a previous test also:

I will grant them credit that the sensor calibrator sheet works. I will also tell you that no matter how many times and ways I have cleaned it (by the instructions: use the cleaner tool; by geek standards: use canned air) there's still dust on the result that isn't on the print, just a lot less streaking than in the previous three runs through; the right photo is a zoom so you can see the dust more clearly.

But like the VuPoint, it automatically senses the edges incorrectly. Side-by-side are the result of scanning the last Hippies slide and what the thing really looks like according to my Epson scanner:

The purpose of the purple across the bottom is padding I put so the two images would be the same length and centering... thus you note that the top is the top, the right side is the right side, the left side got cropped by about 40 pixels, and the bottom was cropped by 117 pixels. I have no complaints about the color this time, though. The grain, yes, and the fact that it cropped the tail for no reason, but not the Kodak's slightly 'cooler' take and better balance that reduced the sunny golden tone and clarified the people in blue in the background to make the photo more aesthetic.

So I rate this one a bit higher than the last one, but still a quick and dirty amateur solution rather than anything you should rely on.

REEL TO REAL WAKE UP. Episode 28. V For Vendetta

A weekly show breaking down and discussing movies, insights and Vupoints drawn from the content, and how what is depicted in them reveals what is happening in the world today and throughout creation.

(With Dean Val Vitols, Ronald Gust, Peter Adams and Kevin Smith).

Episode 28. V For Vendetta

V for Vendetta is a 2005 dystopian political superhero action film directed by James McTeigue (in his feature directorial debut) from a screenplay by the Wachowskis. It is based on the 1988 DC Comics limited series of the same name by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. The film is set in an alternative (although fairly plausible) future where a fascist totalitarian regime has subjugated the United Kingdom. It centres on V (portrayed by Hugo Weaving), an anarchist and masked freedom fighter who attempts to ignite a revolution through elaborate terrorist acts, and Evey Hammond (portrayed by Natalie Portman) a young woman caught up in V's mission. Stephen Rea portrays a detective leading a desperate quest to stop V.

there were THREE image scanners at the Goodwill...

 I didn’t buy any of them, and you’ll see why.

VuPoint Solutions digital photo converter (originally $149.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond!!), which was like $7. It produces images of 1800dpi, but basically it takes photos of pictures rather than actually scanning. (Nevermind that my Wolverine is just a camera for negatives, that’s why I know it’s not what I want!)

Microtek ScanMaker 5800. Because while it says it does 4800dpi, I think that this is just marketing -- that it actually scans at 2400dpi but can interpolate [fill in spaces between the pixels] to 4800dpi, since that’s what my Epson Perfection also advertised.

Pacific Image Electronics PrimeFilm 1800u. I have a PrimeFilm 3650u and like it a lot -- that was a $9 thrift find 2-3 years ago -- and that one does 3600dpi where this one does 1800dpi. Now, if I find one of their deprecated 4800 or 7200 models in a thrift, or (dreaming aloud) this current model, I will be all over it.
