Not too sure on the OCR for text, but for scanning photos from printed material make sure you scan at a high resolution, larger size, that you will need in the end. The reason is that printed material will have a dot pattern that may not be readily recognizable by the eye but very blatent when scanned. Scan large, then apply a slight gausian blur (really slight), then reduce to the size you want. With out doing this often times you will see a morray pattern caused by the dot pattern. I have found this way to produce nice images. HTH, Jeff Knight -- Mac Webmasters is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
