<i>&gt;On Mon, 14 Jul 1997 08:00:23 -0700, John Culleton &lt;<a href="mailto:john@ccpl.carr.lib.md.us">john@ccpl.carr.lib.md.us</a>&gt; said:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt;My wife will buy me a (cheap) color scanner. Some choices</i><br>
<i>&gt;include: HP Scanjet 5s, Microtek Scanmaker E3, Mictotek Color</i><br>
<i>&gt;PageWiz, Artec ViewStation AT6, Inland ScanTAK 2c Scanner</i><br>
<i>&gt;(w/proprietary interface card). All are under $200 and some</i><br>
<i>&gt;give 4800 dpi max resolution, hopefully enough for photos.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt;I know the HP is supported but it is low res (300 dpi, 600 dpi max).</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<p>
Beware of advertised resolutions. Most of them are obtained by<br>
_interpolating_ lower resolution images. You must look for _physical_<br>
resolution instead. I've recently (1 month ago) bought a Genius<br>
ColorPage-CS scanner, by KYE Corp., Taiwan. It advertises 4800 dpi, but<br>
the _real_ physical one is 300 x 600 dpi. The driver software does its<br>
magic. In Linux, you could easily use the Gimp or ImageMagick<br>
to get the same effect. I have just finished my driver for the Genius,<br>
after looking around for a "ready to run" unsuccessfully.<br>
