ot: new scanner and os 9 after X

2004-07-18 Thread Clyde Kahrl
I have an hp flatbed with an adaptor for negatives.
	It works OK for everything except that I cannot get an OCR 
program to drive the sheet feeder--they all say they will but they 
dont'.

	Anyway, if you want to do photos, make sure you have a 
scanner attachment for your negatives.   Scans from negatives are 
much superior to those from prints because of the color depth.  You 
would think that scanning from a print would give better resolution, 
but a print has so much less dynamic range the extra resolution 
doesn't help.

	  The HP scans at 2400 DPI and 4 negatives take about 20 
minutes.   I got an old Nikon film scanner that does them at 2700 
dpi.  They give similar scans, but the Nikon is much more convenient 
and breaks each negative scan into a separate scan--so you don't have 
to open a 100mg file just for cropping out the several photos.

ot: new scanner and os 9 after X

2004-07-17 Thread Gladys Pérez-Almiroty
hi to all:
i am in the market for a new scanner. i would like a compact one, but 
quality goes before size. i use os 10.3.4 in an ibook 500, pismo and 
cube. i want to make an album from pictures from a recent trip with my 
mom, so photo quality would be a plus, but i have photoshop 7 so i 
could play with that. any recommendations?
i would like to know how to install system 9 after x has been 
installed? help!
tia,
gladys

We have several people in the College who are really happy with their 
Canon LIDE scanners.

Boot from the OS 9 CD and install; all three of your systems support 
that.
