Colleagues,
For those of you who asked that I share the info I had gleaned on scanners
- I apologize - I did not save it...
I was looking for quick and dirty confirmation of feelings about two
particular scanners I was considering (solely on the basis of their
availability and a couple of recommendations from colleagues. Research
suggested that I buy a UMAX Vista S8 24 bit color scanner 800dpi. It comes
with Photoshop LE (Limited Edition - which means it doesn't have the full
range of capabilities as Full Photoshop). After checking with two mail
order companies, with my IS office at the Guggenheim, with museum-l'ers and
with some of the larger chains, I decided to buy it from the apple dealer
on my block who gave me the best price (far and away!) of $691. It cannot
do slides, but an adaptor can be had for under $300 and photoshop can be
upgraded for around $200 should I ever want to do color separations (which
presently is unnecessary for my purposes). I apologize for not saving the
comparative info for redistribution. Next time I will be more considerate
of y'all.
