I am taking a "Intro To Digital Photography" at my local college. Taking because i would like to get an introduction to Lightroom and making Digital Negatives.
The problem for me is...i am 60 years old, and this is a Photography Class...part of their Photo-Art-Design program. They want to teach 20 year old students how to use a (Digital) 35mm Camera, and then print with Lightroom and Photoshop...Etc etc etc. and move onto their degree.
I am not there for a degree...i am not an artist...i'm just a hack Street Photographer.
I do not Want to buy another camera, especially a 300 dollar digital camera.
I was thinking it would be better to just buy a scanner, take a few of my 35mm Negs, scan them into a computer, transfer that onto one of those stick things, and then take THAT to school and then i will have digital files for their computers, and i can learn Lightroom.
Is there any reason this will not work.?
I mean the School Computer will not know or care what camera generated the digital files, will it.?
AND.....would this scanner be OK for that.?
Thank You
