I certainly didn't say ScanTips was perfect, just that it's the best I've come
across so far. Scanning really is an art, and there's a fair amount of
experimentation involved, but ScanTips is a damn good place to start. (For the
record, I too like to scan at maximum *hardware* resolution [not that
interpolated software crap] and then downsample in Photoshop, but there are
many people who don't have that option for various technical reasons --
computer/SCSI card's too slow, hard drive's too small, their image manipulation
program doesn't do good downsampling, etc., etc., etc. ...)
