The Goods April 2007Renaissance Scan

Saddled with a huge archive of fairly inaccessible prints, slides, and negatives? The latest scanner to help solve that problem is Hewlett- Packard's Scanjet G4050 ($200, street). It can hold up to sixteen 35mm slides or thirty 35mm negative frames at once. But the main feature that HP touts is not its mere ability to digitize old film, but the extra light source that they say leads to greater color accuracy than a normal scanner would. It's also got lots of features that will get rid of redeye, restore old photos, and scan for your specific film type. (hp.com)
