Scanners and scanning

 

Scanners have become very popular with both standalone and multifunction units selling in large quantities. The growing popularity of digital cameras may see their use for scanning photographs decline a little, but they can still be used for scanning old photos, especially those in need of retouching. They are also useful for scanning text into OCR programs, making decorative borders and more.

 

The hints in this section will help you to choose the right scanner and to use it correctly.
