this is mainly for the non digital photographers, do you scan your images in the comp w/ a scanner and if so @ what resolution, or do you use one of those kodak cd's that comes with the pic? Im looking at posting some photography, thx for the help

Hey now, I think you'll have to pay extra for that many asterixes in the title. ;-)

Actually, I'm interested in this as well. I've tried using a film scanner once, however the quality wasn't what I was hoping for. I think it might have been due to the film spped/lighting conditions though.

lol, ya the usual way that i would put photos on my comp was to get the film developed, then use my flat bed scanner to put them on the comp

I used Kodak cd's for a few photos, but it's expensive. Now, I use a scanner at 600 DPI,then I reduce the photo. The result is sometimes good (see 'Declining sun', 'Memories', 'Venice', Waterpoint 1', Twins by night', ...), but sometimes wrong...
You can find some specific scanners for negatives, but it is expansive too... (± 500 $)
Cheap negative scanners (± 150 $) give bad quality...

I haven't shot film in several years. Currently I work with a Minolta Dimage 7hi, which allows me to upload directly into PhotoShop, My Pictures (desktop) or wherever. Eventually I'd like to upgrade to a true digital SLR, such as the Nikon D2H or the Canon EOS-1Ds.

If I win the lottery, I'd buy the new Hasselblad H1, which shoots both film and digital. I'd probably use very high resolution film (such as Provia 100 RDP III or Agfachrome RSX II 100 or equivalents) and a top grade flatbed scanner to achieve digital images >20 megs.

Kodak Photocd's don't even come with the pics at 1600x1200. Unless they've changed recently, the ones I got only came back at like 1536x1024, only big enough to crop to 1280x1024.
If you want to scan *film*, you have to get a very good, expensive scanner. If you want to scan prints, though, a scanner capable of 1200 dpi is enough. From a 4x6, I'd probably scan at 600dpi, and drop it down to desktop size later in editing.

ya i have a cannon scanner with 2400 dpi so that is not a problem

For those of us that don't have a scanner....

I use the service provided by Wal-Mart. When you develop a roll of film you have the option of having the photos loaded on Wal-Mart.com for an additional .99. They stay on there for 1 month and you can download an entire roll at a time.

With top quality film - the high resolution file can be uploaded at 1280x1024.

Additional plus to this method - you can order up to 8x10 of your prints for fairly cheap prices.
