Scanning Images


Which Scanner could be best used for scanning a photoprint to the computer. Also I want it to use for damaged pictures, so I could repair them.

  Almost any flatbed scanner from a major manufacturer would do fine for your purposes here. Look for at least 1200 true pixels-per-inch resolution. When the specs give you a number such as 1200 x 2400 reolution, go with the first number. I've seen decent scanners from HP, Canon, Epson and others for $75, but you'll get a better scanner by jumping a price step or two. To repair damaged pictures, use Elements or the older Photoshop LE. Look for one of these as a freebie in your scanner's software package.
