[comp.graphics] Scanners

      Here is a good question for you ...


I have seen many photographic quality 640x480x256 gifs, and I don't know
what has been used to SCAN THEM IN!!!

I have a board that can do 800x600x256 , and a 12 bit frame grabber , but
that incerdible quality apparently comes from a specific scanner ...

I don't know if my origional post got out... sorry about the bandwidth if it
did and I am repeating myself.

I have seen many PHOTOGRAPHICS 800x600x256color Images floating around, and
wondered if anyone knew what scanner/software was used for them.

Specifically , a bunch of the recent Sports Illustrated stuff looks GREAT.

I have a 640x400x12bit Video frame grabber but it wont hold a candle to
whatever this scanner must be like.

Anyinfo?
