Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Scan this book! Or, read it cover-to-cover. Either way, you’ll learn which scanner to purchase to suite your needs, important technical information about pixels and digital images, installation and calibration tips, and plenty of tricks to make scanning easier and more effective. Written for both PC and Mac users.




Rating: - "Not EVERYTHING" - but a lot.
This is a nice book for beginners or slightly knowledgable scanner-persons. It isn't an "everything" book, but for novices like me, it was pretty good.

Rating: - Misnomer for "How to do Everything with SCANNED IMAGES"
David Huss is a highly skilled digital imager, and a superb communicator to boot (see my rave review of his Photoshop Elements book).

Rating: - The Ultimate Scanner resource
Before reading through this book I only used my scanner to occassionaly scan photos. After reading through this book I discovered that I can do a whole lot more and my scanner is no longer gathering dust on my desktop anymore. The author has a very friendly (often humorous) style of writing that makes you feel he is actually talking with you one-to-one. This book should be included with every scanner that is made.

Rating: - Scanner book MUST HAVE the scanner book people dream about!
This book was amazing. I felt that the author really addressed the important questions I had about scanning and really taught me some cool things to do with my scanner. This book is an absolute must when buying or using a scanner, I felt that it should have been included with my scanner.
