|
I know nothing about the D'imâge series, but I have a Minolta<br>
|
|
QuickScan35, which I have been fairly happy with as a piece of<br>
|
|
hardware. There are some issues I have with the Windows driver,<br>
|
|
however, beyond the fact that it only runs in Windows. The<br>
|
|
representatives of Minolta I've spoken with don't seem inclined to<br>
|
|
repair the drivers for their cheaper scanners, but they tell me the<br>
|
|
problems I've expressed are addressed in the newer ones, so maybe the<br>
|
|
D'imâge will be everything you want it to be.<br>
|
|

There is such a possibility. I have no idea how remote it is. I've<br>
|
|
been in communication with Minolta about this, and they now tell me<br>
|
|
they're currently trying to clear it through their legal department.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
As far as I'm concerned, that could be the kiss of death to the whole<br>
|
|
thing. (Working for Disney, one gets a real appreciation of the<br>
|
|
incredible inertia of the legal department.) But I remain ever<br>
|
|
optimistic, even perhaps foolishly so.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Still, don't underestimate the inconvenience of having a Windows-based<br>
|
|
scanner when all of your software is Linux-based. Currently, to scan<br>
|
|
a roll of film, I have to (a) boot under windows, scan several frames,<br>
|
|
and save them to disk as (quite large) Windows BMP files. I do this<br>
|
|
until I run out of space on my Windows partition. Then, (b) I boot<br>
|
|
under Linux, fire up The Gimp, clean up lint and stuff on the scans,<br>
|
|
and save them out as JPEG. If any image came out with a big hair or<br>
|
|
something on it that I can't clean up in The Gimp, or if it came out<br>
|
|
surprisingly green or something, I have to reboot Windows again just<br>
|
|
to rescan that one frame. It is an amazing pain in the butt.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In short, think hard before you buy any hardware not presently<br>
|
|
supported by Linux.<br>
