Here is my main desktop on Ubuntu Linux. The picture is one I took this week with a 35mm Pentax SLR ZX7 camera. The wildflowers are growing along a local road, and when I set up to take the shot, that bee showed up to complete the picture. I did have to get her to sign a model's release, however! :)

Nice picture. How did you go digital with it? Did you scan the negative or the print?

I have several thousand negatives that I've just given up scanning. I bought a negative scanner and it was just so slow and tedious and the quality so poor I've given up on all of my old pictures.

It was actually very painless. I had them developed at Walgreens and paid $2.99 for them to put them on CD as well as give me negatives and prints. I do have a digital camera (Gateway DC-T50), but the SLR is much more capable.

Whenever I've done that with my film the CDs they send back only have pictures in two sizes on them -- 640x480 and 1280x1024. If I'm on film, I'm there for a reason, which is that I need 5000x3000 minimum.

The negative scanner I have does it, but it takes 30 minutes for each negative and the quality isn't great. One picture I did for the Weather Channel took three tries and an hour of touching-up to get a decent look. That was when I gave up.

Yeah, I hear you. That is always an issue for hi-res. I would like to have all mine that way as well. However, for sharing online, the CD works fine.

If someone comes up with a good solution, I'd like to hear it also. That is why I still keep negatives.
