Scanning Systems--Resolved to Scan

For quite some time, it seems scanner hardware has been decreasing in cost, while increasing in variety and flexibility. Nice result: Flatbed scanners, growing more sophisticated with each passing season and certainly more plentiful throughout the market, are also growing more affordable.

The flatbed scanner is capturing more image information—more color, more intrinsic detail, more shadow—than ever, aided by advanced, bundled software products. For both flatbed and drum scanners, scanning software has greatly escalated the speed, quality and extent of image capture.
