>>will it do scans like the ones you see of calender girls in .jpg form, or .gif form<< I'm trying to work that out myself. >>what is the dpi that you are scanning at<< The machine we've got for now is optical 600. And it does a very good job of picking up the halftone dots on 4 colour print jobs (calender girls (actually, I haven't tried to scan a calendar girl. There is girl calendar in the next office over that I could appropriate)). I am using an anime art book for 4 colour source. The combination of unclean scan and halftone dots and moire between the print dots and the scan dots makes for kinda yucky scans. I am trying to see if a set of parameters can be arrived at that give happier results. I do wonder if the really nice scans from print media are made with some more analog method like video scanning. I did see a video capture device at Comdex that was giving very pretty output, but they were using 4×6 transparencies on a light box… Anyway, I just don't know. Something no doubt is possible. I don't know if the tool is on my desk or not. – gruhn PS, thanks for the confirmation on the 3pass 1pass stuff.
