Anybody have a really good scanner?

[Joe Copalman]

I had an ad agency approach me regarding use of a photo of me and they would like a higher-res version of the image than the one I have.  The scanner on our HP all-in-one unit really leaves much to be desired, so I was hoping someone out there with a really nice scanner could help me out with a better scan of this image.  East side preferred, but not required.  Lunch will be on me.

Joe,

Another avenue might be having Tempe Camera's lab scan it for you, if no one has a scanner.  As a bonus, TCR is soooooo close to PHX...

Just a thought.

Is this the yearbook photo they want.  What are they advertising, I ain't buying it.

But,
If your not offended by my comments, I do have a scanner.  Is it good enough?  Would have to test the photo for you.  I'll do it, no charge, until you hit the big time ads, then I'll take a percentage.

LOL Bill.  Yes, it is that God-awful yearbook photo.  It's for a photo studio back east, I can only assume it is going to be for a "don't let this happen to you" style ad. 

You gonna be out at Willie tonight?

Is it a Print, A Neg or A Slide Joe?

I'll be there after work, for a while, about 4:30.  Let me know (text, voicemail) when you can be there, I should be able to stick around or be back.

Jay, it's an 8x10 print.  In pretty sorry shape too - a few scratches and crease-marks - lots of dust on the original scan I did several years ago.  You can few a full-size version here:

Nice... 

I do have a 35mm scanner (Nikon V ED) if anyone ever needs a slide or a neg scanned.

Output end ups being about a 48Mb file.
