Scanners are pretty neat and have dropped dramatically in price over the years. You can go to your typical electronics store and pick up a pretty good scanner for $100 or less, and they do a reasonably good job. You can scan in your old photos and documents and do all the wonderful things to them you can do with your digital photos.
The problem I’ve run into is the Mac software that comes with these scanners is usually really bad. Or, perhaps you have a very old scanner and the manufacturer won’t release an OS X driver. In this article, we’re going to discuss an alternative I’ve found that works much better, supports a wide number of scanners, and (to me, anyways) seems much more simple. Best of all, it uses Apple’s built in tool for the job that I’ve bet you’ve never heard of.
