I had considered this, and I do need to replace my digital camera that died a while ago. But the prime item I am considering is print artwork. Drawings, sketches, pastel works done by my son. I did scan some of his work a few years ago that could handle a trip through the 8 1/2 by 11 adf. What I like from the scans is that you get a sense of the paper not just the image. http://www.ilsweb.com/Family/Christopher/displayArt.cfm?piece=christopherArt/Vase [Warning art work by 6 year old]. How hard do you think it would be to get the same affect with a photo? I presume I would have to be fairly particular with lighting, camera position, exposer, etc to get the same thing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:283998 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
