I bought a Wolverine negative scanner. I like the viewing screen and I like the lightning-fast scan. But I don't like the color balance or levels (despite experimenting with the Wolverine's onboard color and exposure adjustments). Even using batch actions on Photoshop, this is proving to be very time consuming. If I could get a scan with more accurate color balance, it would save so much trouble. (Because of course I am compulsively adjusting every scan - even for shots that were semi duds.)
The flatbed Canoscan has pretty good reviews with optical: 4800 x 4800 dpi. But then you have to deal with the set-up for each negative strip. And I have thousands. But if the colors scanned more accurately, it would save time in the end.
The Wolverine is a piece of cake - you just push the negative strip through the scanner.
Kodak makes a similar product. Anyone here tried it?
My goal is to scan one set of negatives every morning. But the Photoshop time is killing me.
Is there a better way??
