Review by Scanning Basics Teacher,
By
This review is from: Make Your Scanner a Great Design & Production Tool (Paperback)
For four years now I have made reference to Make Your Scanner a Great Design & Production Tool, and it's previous version, in my Scanning Basics non-credit classes at a local community college. I refer to the page for finding the sweet spot on your scanner because it explains how "noise" can be introduced into a scan. That, and some other technical information, has been useful to me in preparing for my class. The target audience of the book is graphic artists/designers; I believe it meets the needs of that group. However, my classes are attended by family members doing geneologies, librarians, or small business owners who want to scan for the internet. The book does not contain enough examples geared to their needs.

Advanced intermediate to advanced scanning tips.,
By Jay Coffsky (Atlanta, Ga USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Make Your Scanner a Great Design & Production Tool (Paperback)
I was disappointed in this manual as I expected more of a level suitable for a beginner. I felt like a beginner skier on an advance slope. Not much fun and lots of levels of usefullness not appropiate for beginners. I wished the reviewers had a way to indicate the level of usefullness. Prehpas in a year or two I will feel the way the excellent reviews the manual got which promtede me to purchase it. If you are a beginner this is a higher level manual then I found useful.

The best scanner book I've seen so far.,

This review is from: Make Your Scanner a Great Design & Production Tool (Paperback)
I have several books on scanners and scanning, and I don't think any of them come close to matching this one in the clarity of the text and the illustrations used to make the point. The only drawback I could find was that I do wish the authors would all get together and use the same terms when talking about dpi, spi, lpi, and ppi. It makes it pretty difficult for us right-brain folks to be able to sort it all out. However, I still consider 'Make Your Scanner a Great Design Tool' to be very useful and a worthwhile investment, particularly if you are getting into doing any sort of image-tweaking for optimum results. I have recommended it to several artists who want to scan their work.
