Why
use Photoshop to repair a lousy scan? Get a clean scan from the
beginning.

Here
is the actual subject on top of the Linotype-Hell flatbed
scanner (a Saphir Ultra2). This
is a native handicraft from Mexico or Guatemala, where I
do archaeological research when not testing digital imaging
hardware and software in my offices in Germany or St Louis,
Missouri.

Here
is a quickie scan. Press the buttons and out it comes. Easy
and accurate.This twine jaguar can now be used to illustrate
a children's book, a motif for a decorative greeting card,
a logo, or any other graphics use.Although Linotype-Hell
scanners are made for professional pre-press shops, I recommend
their flatbed scanners also to everyone who works with art,
graphic design, or photography.

Once
you get all your nice new scanned images, where and how can you
store them? We faced this same dilemma and have worked out a variety
of solutions: burning your own CD-R,
using the new DVD-RAM.,
or developing a RAID
system for your studio (it's easy, we have a 36 GB RAID system
in our own office)
| RAID
is super fast. Let MegaHaus tell you how. |
|
|
| A
RAID system is as easy as hooking two drives together. You get
twice the speed of a single drive with RAID level 0. |
| How
should you store your scanned images? |
|
|
| DVD-RAM
stores 5.2 GB on a disk that costs under $60 (2.6 GB per side).
A DVD-RAM burner/player costs under $800. How,
where to buy? |
