Re: Scanners

[James Romeo <jamesromeo@xxxxxxx>]

I have ben a photographer for over 50 years this is somthing I know well.
My problem is I have just bought a imac dv which is great I am starting to
get to know it.
I allso just bought a saanner low cost as the mac hit my buget for now. It
is a umax astra 2200. I would like to use it right now to only make b@x work
prints.
I am rather lost with this.
Does eny one know know of a book that would help a novic like myself ??
Its all a new world to me.
Thanks to all
James
