5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice beginning scanner book,
By cs-solutions1@juno.com (Alabama) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scanner Solutions (Solutions (Muska & Lipman)) (Paperback)
What I like is the way the author presents the options you have and points out the differences. For example, which photo editing software is right for you? You are given enough details about the options available to be comfortable in your decision. We often buy the wrong thing only because we don't have enough information to make an intelligent decision. You'll find plenty of details on configuring your scanner, scanning techniques, saving, basic photo enhancements, special effects, OCR, business uses, web design and family fun. There is even an Appendix to help out Mac users.

Scanner Solutions,
By "mdkirby" (BELLAIRE, TEXAS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scanner Solutions (Solutions (Muska & Lipman)) (Paperback)
Not a very good reference. Too confusing for a beginner and too weak for a more advanced user. The book is strongly biased toward Paint Shop Pro and the Windows platform. It mentions Photoshop occasionally and has a almost useless chapter for Macintosh users. If you have children and Paint Shop Pro it might be of some interest.
