If you're doing line art, the old, 4 bit scanner, is fine. If you're doing
photos, the difference between the two is astonishing.

You really want Ofoto. I've been using it a lot for the latest OtherRealms,
and the stuff it does is amazing. I've never been able to get art scanned in
as cleanly using Applescan as I can using the "push the do-it-for-me button"
mode of Ofoto.

150 pages, no matter how stupid or trite I become, or he ruins the book.
