Hi folk,
Following some excellent advice I got yesterday, I am now thinking of
getting a new scanner.
Basically I want it for scanning in watercolour paintings, sketches etc.
that I've done, to finish them off in the computer.
I would have to get them printed professionally I guess (I don't think my
old HP Deskjet 870 Cxi wouldn't be up to the job, let alone be able cope with
specialist papers.) Or maybe in the future I could get a suitable printer.
In a photography forum I belong to people often say it is pointless getting
a high res. scanner for images (the human eye can only read up to about 200
dpi?) But I may well have got the wrong end of the stick here.
Given what I want to use the scanner for (pix, pix and more pix), does
anyone have any advice about what I should be looking for?
all best wishes,
Canna
