Buying a Scanner |
|
-The scanner is a must if you want to make copies of pictures or any type of media. When going to the store and selecting a scanner look for a flatbed if at all possible. They do take up space but achieve the best scans. What to look for when buying a scanner:
Professional
-
Optical Resolution of 1200dpi
-
Color Depths of 30-36 bits

Fast SCSI, or USB connector
-
Optional Slide scanner Attachment for 35mm slides
-If you want to go the professional route check into some really good imaging software such as Adobe PhotoShop.
