Any scan that's not OCR is an image, so photos are a snap with most scanners, and they will come with a full complement of photo software.

Cc: Daniel McBride Subject: RE: Scanners. Carolyn: Space for a flatbed scanner is always a consideration. I do not share Marshall's problem because I have a very nice computer desk with a cabinet in the lower right area of the desk that nicely accommodates my printer/scanner and sits on a sliding pad. When I need to print, copy or scan, I simply open the cabinet door, slide the printer out and perform the necessary task. When completed, it easily slides back into the cabinet. I am not 100% sure about scanning photographs, but my sighted wife believes the HP 3820 does scan photos.
