Can anyone give me some feedback on the MiGraph (or Golden Image – I understand they're the same) hand scanner? I'm looking for something to replace my Digi-View for quick B&W scans but don't want to pay for a flat bed type scanner. How susceptable to hand jitter is a hand scanner? Is it impossible to get a clean scan on Monday morning? How's the software it comes with? How compatable are the files it generates? Thanks in advance for any info. Roger

Roger, I've had a MiGraph hand scanner for about a year now and I can recommend it highly. It is very easy to get a "clean" scan. There is a long roller on the bottom that keeps you scanning in a straight line, and it is very tolerant of speed variations. The "Touchup" software that comes with the scanner is excellent and performs three main functions; scanning, full feature b&w paint program, and image file conversions. It will load and save just about every image file format you could think of. A very nice package. -Paul-

"Is it possible to get a good scan on Monday Morning?" I guess it depends on how much beer you drink Sunday night. – via Whap!
