[PRCo] west penn r-o-w

[John Swindler]

Epson Perfection 350.  It was our son's, but he recently upgraded.  The computer is a recent HP with windows 7. 
 
I didn't have software CD, so downloaded the server files from the Epson website this afternoon.  Surprisingly, it worked.  
 
For scanning, the default is 300dpi for transparencies.   I switched to 400dpi - what you saw.  In one instance, Fred asked for higher resolution, so tried 800dpi - took long time to scan and file was 4mb.  I guess for sharing slides, 400dpi is more than sufficient, but for making prints should consider 800-1200 dpi.
 
Next experiment is to see what scanner can do with some 35mm b/w negatives from around 1963.  Wondering if this will include the 1537 fantrip?????  (first challenge is to locate negatives - first time in abut 50 years)

> Which Epson slide scanner do you have - the V500?� I have a Nikon Coolscan5000ED slide scanner that worked great with Windows 98, but I can't get it to work with Windows 7 Professional/Virtual 98.� My old Windows 98 computer was recycled, so now I'm limited to making only�low-res slide scans on my HP scanner.

> As for third pix, since list topic is Pittsburgh Railways, this is PRC bus 503, with couple seats removed and tables installed. �I want to say that PAT called it their 'party bus', but will defer to those with better memories. �Used 1972 to sign up senior citizens for the free transit program. �This pix is in Ingram.
