nklr - pc scanner recommendations

[chris kelty]

Fred asked for a report: WOW it was great ! we had little time for travel so trip was slab, both ways We took the 8 out from San Diego and took the 10 back. At the event there was a motorcycle village of people who do trips, trainings and sell supplies. There was a bigger one for jeeps and the big overland vehicles. All day there were seminars on border crossings, cooking, safety and health, rides on new BMW bikes and in Land Rovers on a neat off road course. At night there was a film festival of travel and adventure films. Friendly people, many KLRs. My favorite part was going to talks given by authors I had read. They had film or photo shows and we accessible, for conversations and drinks etc. www.overlandexpo.com Only downside was hot and windy and with lots of blowing sand, but it was held in the desert so what do you expect ? I have no affiliation, I paid to go and thought it was worth it. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

They all scan with more resolution than you need, though I like the color resolution on the Epson out of the box better. Save you money and go with the all in one if needed. You can get them free with a PC purchase sometimes. The stand alones offer insane resolution if you want it but it is probably much more than you need. The thing to spend the money on is the software. Buy something Photo specific and take the time to do the color correction before starting your scanning. I like Adobe Photoshop Elements though there are several good Photo programs out there. At a reasonable price Photoshop Elements lets you do some real world photo work like batch jobs and color correction.
