Hi again


I'm sending this more specific request under a separate message.


Has anyone any opinions of the Umax Powerlook 2000 flat bed scanner
compared to other scanners on the market.  I'm looking at a flat bed
scanner for the more straight forward material in the collections and
have been told that this one is very good for documents, photographs
and transparencies.


Also, it comes bundled with binuscan ColorPro software rather than
Photoshop.  I've had a brief demonstration of both with the scanner.
Although binuscan's algorithms seem to give better colour
translations without as much hassle as Photoshop, it seemed to have
constraints (as in 1:1 scanning, a bit restricting with photographs
ranging from 4cm x 3cm up to 40cm x 30 cm).  Any one any opinions on
binuscan?


Thanks
Helen
