[sane-devel] Scanning Time Question

[Spiro Angeli]

Hi,

Approaching 15000 pictures 35mm I wish to know, for those who already have the 
scanner (I am thinking to purchase a Nikon LS 4000 or LS 5000) how is the 
scanning process.

I explain better:
If I say I have 50 pictures to scan, how do you handle the scanning process? 
Is it possible to scan x number of pictures, holding them in memory and then 
save them to the disk all at once or do I have to scan and save, scan and 
save?

I am trying to understand what is that I will be faced with. I am also trying 
to figure out how much time it will take for me to scan pictures, and am 
trying to figure out how to standardize the process of manually scanning all 
these pictures.

I know that scanning time depends on the depth of the scanned picture. But is 
there a table that shows based on the depth of color and bits what is the 
time needed for the device to scan and save?

Thank you,
Spiro
