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.
