Professional Photographers Using Linux?

Posted by Cliff on Monday December 6, 2004 @09:33AM from the new-developments-in-a-specific-area dept.

thesun asks: "I'm a freelance writer and photographer and I'm wondering what Pro Photographers have done in regards to color matching and scanning under Linux, especially when going from slides to digital. I just can't get anything close to a good image when I scan a slide. They're blurry and the colors are so off that doing anything with my thousands of slides is proving to be prohibitively time-consuming. Are other Pros (or talented amateurs) having similar problems? Are there solutions out there I haven't found? (Sorry, I can't dump thousands into a piece of hardware---I'm looking for a way to make the most of my Epson Perfection 2400 with transparency adapter)."

How did this get modded up to "Interesting"?

How is this interesting?

Who cares.

Just because the story ends of a fucking Penguin riding in and saving the day, it's modded up to "god damn nobody could have said anything more relevant than this."

Yes, Linux recognizes a scanner.

Who cares?
