which scanner

Anyone have a scanner that they would recommend? Will the scanner/fax/copier do a good job? Thanks, Janet

If you can find a scanner that comes with Adobe PhotoShop Elements, I recommend you get it. That is a great piece of photo editing software. By itself I think it costs $100 commercially. The educational price used to be around $20, I'd check on that to be sure.

For our COV projects, however, I recommend trying to use your camera and photographing your pictures you were going to scan at full resolution (10 megapixel) and use the macro setting. (It looks like a flower) You can usually get pretty good results that way.; ▶ Reply to This
