Slightly OT: Scanning Software Question
Hi All - Got a software question for you. My wife wants to use an Epson 1200photo scanner with her Pismo running 9.1. She already has it set up with Omnipage pro to do text and really likes it. She needs to scan photo's, tables, images now and we are looking for a nice and simple scanning program to use with the scanner and 9.1. She will mostly be scanning pictures/charts/graphs from documents and pasting them in other Appleworks documents (she's a teacher). We think that even PhotoDeluxe is overkill for this and puts too many extentions, etc on the PB. Before you suggest upgrading to OS X and using the very nice and simple to use image capture program that comes with it, please be assured that I have suggested this and it is not an option for her at this point. So does anyone know of a simple scanning program for saving images that's compatible with 9.1, simple to use, and twain compliant for the Epson 1200 Perfection Photo scanner? Any help would be much appreciated and would help immensely in making me look good in this situation! Sam Strong Charlottesville, Virginia -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Check out VueScan on version tracker, it's a $40 shareware program that is supposed to be excellent. Joe Ellis --- Not all who wander are lost. -J. R. R.

The Epson should have come with twain drivers, or Photoshop plug-ins: she could use Graphic Converter http://www.lemkesoft.com which should acquire images fine using either. If the Epson softwre isn't working for some reason (there should have been some sort of scanning software that came with it.) try VueScan http://www.hamrick.com which is a very good, easy-to-use scanner driver. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Slightly OT: Scanning Software Question
If you work out of PhotoShop LE (should have come with the scanner) you will be set up to do everything you asked about. I use PhotoShop 7 with my Epson Perfection Scanner and I works great!
