It's quite remarkable because it's hard to believe that a 3.3 megapixel camera can produce such a detailed image. Maybe it's the smoothness of the tonalities, or maybe it's the complete lack of grain, but I'm very favourably impressed. Photographed with Canon D30 at ISO 100. The following is the workflow that works best for me at the moment. Since I currently have more than 100 Gigabytes of scanned files I am very sensitive to this issue .
Thumbnails are immediately visible.
This takes about 6 seconds per image. At this point the card can be removed and reformatted for further use. This then creates a TIFF file and on my 600Mz Pentium III takes about 32 seconds. I then right click on that image thus created and choose Edit Image Using PhotoShop . This loads the file, ready for processing in PhotoShop.
