Is there any interest at all in this group in discussing the merits/demerits of various desktop publishing utilities specifically as they relate to the Macintosh? In other groups, such as the .desktop group, the discussion centers either on larger machines or, in .postscript, on a close machine level or programming approach. Any mail is welcome, as would be replies on the group or not as to the appropriateness of such discussions. Glenn I.

There would be more such discussions if only people would post them to .desktop.

> > Is there any interest at all in this group in discussing the merits/demerits > of various desktop publishing utilities specifically as they relate to the > Macintosh? ... I'm interested. In particular, I'd like to get some ideas/help about scanning images. We just bought a DEST PC Scan 2000, a 300 dpi, 256 grey- level scanner and I'd like some tips on getting the best results from it. I've only made a few scans, but the machine seems to work well. What I'd like to know, specifically, is how to adjust the settings on the scanner to get the best quality "halftone" output. I'll be scanning photos of our machine and I want to drop them into some documentation we're doing. How do I get the best results? What are some of the things I should be aware of? Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks. -- /Paul Ausick Ardent Computer Corporation 880 Maude Ave. uucp: uunet!ardent!paul Sunnyvale, CA 94086 408/732-0400
