Thom, I'm curious about something. You mentioned using your Microtek DA
for 1-bit scans and Digital Darkroom for scanning photos. First question,
using the DA, I've found a lot of "noise" in the white areas of my artwork
(random dots all over the place), once I open it in Streamline, but
Streamline tends to ignore it all, fortunately. Do you adjust anything in
the DA before scanning?
Second question, we'd like to learn more about scanning photos for
half-toning, both for Laserwriter output for some in-house things, as well
as through a Lino for some other jobs. I haven't spent enough time with
the Dig. Dkrm. manuals (confession time) but they didn't say too much about
Lino output. What procedures do you use to get something camera ready for
the printshop? At what point is the screen added (is it done by the Lino
driver, or by me)?
BTW, I learned yesterday from Deneba that the new version of Canvas (2.1),
which I just got, correctly handles more of the so-called TIFF Standard
File formats and that it does now produces TIFFs that Streamline can
handle. Version 2.0 of Canvas did not. I didn't get a chance to try it
today, and I'll be out of the office tomorrow, but one of these days . . .
