I am currently looking at purchasing a color scanner and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the following scanners and supporting software for IBM PC's. Please reply by e-mail and I will summarize. Things that are important are: Storage formats (JPEG, TIFF, etc) Conversion (24-bit to 8-bit color, color to gray scale) Scanning Speed Filtering of colors Image manipulation tools Thanks! Scanners: AVR 3000/CL+ Howtek Personal Color Scanner Howtek ScanMaster 3 and 3+ Microtek MSF-300Z Epson ES-300C Software: PC Picture Publisher (comes with the AVR) PhotoStyler (by U-Lead Systems -- First Looks in PC Magazine 6/25/91) PS - If there are other items that I should check into I would appreciate any pointers. -- James E.
