Beginner - Intermediate Level Users.
Although scanners are easy to use, the more you know, the more you can do with them. This book is designed to inspire beginner and intermediate scanner users to get the most out of their devices with solid information and idea-sparking projects and applications. Although Hewlett-Packard products are used for examples throughout the book, it covers scanning issues - installation, optimisation, and resolution issues - that are virtually the same no matter what scanner the user owns.
The book offers users a compendium of step-by-step projects and creative applications and includes coverage of topics such as resolution, colour depth, dynamic ranges, scanner interfaces, SCSI, dithering, interpolation and the various image-editing software packages available. Also to be found is an official troubleshooting section containing real-life questions and answers from HP's technical support staff.
