Keith McLaren Photography: I purchased the CanoScan 9000f recently and wanted to review the scanner as I begin to work through the process of learning this unit. To set the stage, I am a photographer and I have never gone back and scanned my old film photographs. I have about 30 years of film and the task is a large one. I finally decided that I needed to buy something since I have my wedding photo proofs and they are now 15 Years old and I know that they will not last forever.
My objectives in this project gave me a few requirements for a scanner. Here is what I was looking for...
1. Since this project is about scanning my wedding photos, I wish to remain married. This means that I cannot buy multiple scanners, spend $1000's on a scanner or fill my office with large quantities of gear.
2. I wanted a device that would make high-ish resolution scans of both film and prints. I need to scan my wedding proofs since I have no negatives. I also need to scan a large quantity of 35mm and a few medium format film frames.
3. I want a solution that allows me to scan multiple 35mm frames without manual interaction. I have used other scanners in the past and I know that each scan takes a...

I had done quite a bit of scanning with the Nikon back in the day, and I had quit scanning because it was so slow and cranky, both in its hardware and software (Silverfast).
Having experience with a Canon scanner and its MP Navigator interface meant an easy time getting used to the 9000. Using it to import scans into PhotoShop or the included PS Elements gives you essentially the same interface. Some reviewers have complained about the need to do mental arithmetic to get the desired resolution. Not a problem. Just dial in your desired number of pixels per inch (called dpi) and set the output to "flexible". When you are ready to print, resize the image as you like. Other reviewers have complained about the software...
