I've never been very impressed with that piece of software. It looks like the "SANE" software I'm talking about in this article does support your scanner. Give it a try and see how it works. Worst case scenario is you're back to where you are now. As for new scanners, I'm not much of a connoisseur. Generally, Epson has pretty good software and HP consistently has really bad Mac software (even for their printers). I can't speak to how good the scanning quality is, but my impression is that most scanners are "good enough" these days. Teri:

I see on your blog you recommend downloading software for image capture devices. I was thinking of trying that short of buying a new scanner...i use photoshop alot and in my artwork often rely on scanned images. is there a scanner you would recommend that has good software for photoshop users?
