1. [SP] Re: SCANNERS-PHOTOS-D Digest V02 #48 [1]
Is PSP 7-0 Paintshop Pro by Jasc? If yes, does it support layers? Those of you who have both, can you be more specific about what PSP does that PhotoShop doesn't do? Barb Austin
2. RE: [SP] How to copy (scan) small book [1]
And make sure it's a *good* OCR program and the copy you're scanning is *perfect*! I pretty much gave up trying to scan text with the scanner and software I have. I spend more time doing a thorough proofread and correcting the strange symbols and "typos" than it would have have taken to just type up the document!! I used to have a hand-held scanner (Logitech ScanMan) and it was fine for scanning small photos (less than 4" long on one side). I never got got at stitching them together and, again, the OCR
3. [SP] Scanning bleedthrough [1]
I scanned a photo from a 1956 news clipping and the only way I could clean it up was by using the blur tool, a bit at a time. Seems contrary to the purpose but it worked well. Barb Austin

5. [SP] Paperport 8.0, Camera Downloads, Stacking [1]
I'm using Paperport 8.0, downloading JPEG images from a Kodak DC 4800 digital camera into a JPEG format in Paperport, into a Dell Dimension 8200 using Win XP Pro. Although Scansoft says that Paperport will only stack their own .max files, I'm finding that when I download all of the images from the camera, that they all stack up (not my choice) on top of each other in a JPEG format (my choice). The problem is that the software doesn't recognize this stack and won't allow me to unstack it. To date, the onl
6. Re: [SP] Kodak Photo CD format. [1]
Hi! there Gordon, I am unsure of your question as I use Kodak to process my 35 mm and APS films and I order a CD along with the processing. The CD comes along with software added to the CD when the images are cut onto the CD, and they are read by the software and can then be copied onto my HD where I can use any of the Digital Imaging software of which the one you have mentioned will allow you to manipulate the images. Best wishes, Fred. -- Unless specifically stated otherwise in this message, there is

8. [SP] PLUSTEK OPTIC PRO UT12 [1]
Hi Will, Thanks for responding. I'm becoming confused re drivers. Permit me to try and explain: http://www.plustek.com/drivers/usbdrivers.html An American site where I DL'd a driver ostensibly designed for Win 98 with a counterpoint for Win 2000 but there's a disclaimer that its not been approved by Microsoft nor tested with Win 98. The driver for Optic Pro UT12 and Win 98 is USB98.zip but there's a `let well enough alone' warning. I'm past that stage. Compressed package is 2330K. At this European site
9. Re: [SP] Re. Scanning of Historical Documents. [1]
The Library of Congress is actively digitalizing their holdings and they issued a report several years ago demonstrating that scanning and digital cameras do no harm. Try their site for the actual report, because I don't remember where it is. rondie (however, individual libraries do have the right to restrict access) rondie >To: >Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 6:41 PM >Subject: [SP] Re: SCANNERS-PHOTOS-D Digest V02 #54 > > Can any of you tell me how much light is emi
10. Re: [SP] Hand held scanner [1]
Another interesting site commenting on the real likelihood of damage being other than light is at: http://www.greenspun.com/com/pwrtalk/notes/images.html This is a relatively short and simple document in which it is noted that damage is much more likely to come from mishandling than from light.

12. Re: [SP] Re: Speaking of Photoshop (and PSP) [1]
PhotoDeluxe does do layers, but in most programs I've seen it's very easy to lose those layers when you save the files. Depends on file type, I suspect, but haven't really investigated. trapper -----Snip----- > couldn't go back and change the image after I saved it in another format > (or something to that effect), at least not in PictureIt.

13. RE: [SP] How to copy (scan) small book [1]
That's correct, Sherry - there are OCR programs and GOOD OCR programs. I have Omni Page Pro and it works exceptionally well. However, even with it, if the document being scanned is not 100% perfect (especially old style typewriter-produced documents), a considerable amount of editing usually is needed in a few cases.

16. Re: [SP] Paperport 8.0, Camera Downloads, Stacking [1]
First digital camera that I used personally was a Kodak with small images 373 pixels high, limited software and expensive batteries. Most digital pictures have been taken at 1600x1200 and most edited copies for family history projects have been edited to 480-600 pixels high. Some digital cameras require their own software and it may be necessary to copy each image individually after editing (if desired) with a meaningful name in the preferred format. Others allow copy/paste of a set of images from the memo
17. RE: [SP] Software for manipulating images.--cameras for library image copying [1]
Kathy, I wonder what camera you use to take the microfilm images with? I am considering purchasing a digital camera, if it would be useful for copying images at genealogy libraries.

18. Re: [SP] Re: Best scanner? [1]
Gene, I have had the Scanjet 5470 Cse for two months. It would be the same as the HP 5400 except the 5470 has an attachment to scan slides and film strip, and costs more than the 5400. Both scanners have some buttons (11 on the 5470) on the front that I really like, such as scan to E-Mail and other places. I find that feature very convenient and it will automatically join more than one page into one document or E-mail. The 5470 scans a very good looking color picture, much better than my older HP 5p.
19. Re: [SP] Speaking of Photoshop... [1]
I am mixed up on which program you folks are talking about. I use Photo Deluxe Home Edition 4.0. I like it very much, and I am not a computer whiz. Adobe Photshop is an entirely different program. It is the one with all the bells and whistles where you need a college class to use it. Photshop Elements is supposed to be a simplified version, but I found it puzzling abd will stick to Photo Deluxe. An artist in our community prefers it, and teaches how to use it. Photo Deluxe does plenty, restorations, layerin

21. [SP] PLUSTEK OPTIC PRO UT12-5 [1]
So am I Susie, so am I. Thanks for your input. Unfortunately I have never found anyway to adjust the moire setting with the UT12. If offers two options: `light' or `heavy' and Help files say to use it only with newspaper or other previously printed items being scanned. I tried your idea last night on a couple of coloured photos and while they were improved, one especially, it did not removed the check board from the other. It still was visible. It also gave the `sharp' scans a softer, diffused look. I a
22. Re: [SP] PLUSTEK OPTIC PRO UT12 [1]
Hello, Ron - I, too have a Plustek UT12. Bought about 16 mos. ago off Inet from shop in Calif. As luck would have it, Plustek had discontinued business in the U.S. before my scanner was delivered. My scanner set here in it's box until about 3-mos. ago. I installed the software, connected the scanner and all worked fine. I have only scanned a few - like two (2) - pics so far, but am generally pleased with the results. Have also done a couple of OCR scans, with good results with the Texbridge sftwr.
23. [SP] How to prevent "bleed-thru" [1]
Use of a black back-up sheet should help, but I have it in the back of my mind that use of the scanner's "threshold" adjustment is the correct and best way to eliminate bleed-thru. If you can't find one in your scanner software, look in your image editing software. It may be under filters>noise>dust&scratches>threshold. Try experimenting with it there on your scanned images. It seems to me that the threshold adjustment allows you to set the level where you can turn gray, or black, flecks into white,

25. [SP] two tone census pages [1]
Likely possible with any program that allows layers but extra work. My preference is to show the cropped family group, or sometimes a few neighbors who might be related, in census images printed as part of a family history book. The census names make an interesting marriage picture on the family group sheet if no other photo is available. Details not included in a rectangle of reasonable size can be included in the image caption. Usually I print source documents like census images six inches wide in a fam
