I guess Lume is not advertising in this market. But if they ever do I hope they force off the air the lady singing "the little pill with the big story to tell."

Because I consider spellchecking a form of AI. With phones and computers, you virtually have to override anything you write where you find spellcheck has inserted a different word than the one you want. I often have to erase and redo a word because the computer misinterpreted what I wanted to say.


Spell Check is fine. It lets you know there may be a problem. It's Autocorrect that changes words or usage for you. You don't need to use Autocorrect but Spell Check is a useful tool.

You can scan in sections and then piece it together in photoshop.
My choice would be to photograph the picture. You can straighten the image out but the trick is lighting. I used to do this all the time when I owned a photo lab.


You don't need to do all that work. PS will piece it together for you in Photomerge. It even staightens out any sections that may have been scanned askew.

When needing to scan something larger than the bed of my scanner, I scan parts of it and paste the parts together with Photoshop.


My answer also. Scan the photo is sections that overlap. Then go to PS>File>Automate>Photomerge. Works like a charm. I've done it with large prints as well as a collection of newspapers from 1916-1921. I use an Epson V700.

I scan my old media to DNG files on my Epson V700 flatbed for prints and on my Canon FS4000 film/slide scanner by using Vuescan software from Hamrick. Vuescan has the built in option to produce DNG format images. That's as close as I can get to RAW scans and the files are recognized by Photoshop / Lightroom / ACR.Wordle 975 4/6

I would guess a good quality flatbed would scan your negs nicely and Vuescan would save them as DNG files. I've scanned 120 negs from an old Minolta Autocord and they look great.

I know this won't help the original poster much but the only thing I use DNG format is for anything I scan of my slides and negatives. My Olympus cameras' output is recognized by PS and is treated as RAW. I see no need to convert my digital cameras' output to DNG.

I have gone over my old family photos a few times and rescanned them. Since I also use PS I decided to rescan everything as DNG files, the best my Epson V700 and Vuescan software can do for me. This way there is a high quality scan available that can be easlly copied as a jpeg, or whatever, when needed.

Open your browser and search for "Turn off autocorrect." The problem is not with UHH and probably not with your browser. In MacOS you need to check specific programs and turn it off in each one.

"Autocorrect" or "Autofill" is filling in what it believes is the right word, Spell Check is just highlighting possible mistakes but it leaves it to you to correct them.

So you believe that originating on film in 2024 is ill advised ?


From my amateur standpoint, yes.

I'm not a professional but have a backlog of slides and color, as well as B&W, negs that can now be accessed via digital scanning. Everything has been scanned to digfital via a Canon FS4000 film and slide scanner. I have tried other methods that employ the use of a digital camera taking a photo of a slide, or the use of an
Epson 700 flat bed, but neither has come close to the results from the dedicated film/neg Canon scanner. In my opinion it makes no sense to shoot film these days unless you,have a specific reason to do so. My slides/film go back to 1963 and are amateur quality but still very good. I spent time in Saigon and shot a load of slides, and b&w, on a Minolta SRT101 while there. All have been scanned on the Canon FS4000 and I am quite happy with the results, especailly compared to the Epson 700 and the various methods of using a digital camera to copy them. That's my experience so take it for what it's worth!

After a few years I made the decision to rescan everything as DNG files using Vuescan software. I realized I needed a copy of each frame that could be worked on by future generations of nieces and nephews! The most important decision, to me, was to add descriptions in the accompanying comments. I learned this from the photos my stepfather took while in the 8th Air Force in England in WW2. His comments were sketchy so I endeavored to rectify that in my photos.
