Scanning Software versus Photoshop
I have just purchased a Dimage 5400 and have a question regarding the
optimal use of the various software packages I will now own. When I want to perform such operations as sharpening, color balancing, etc. I have a choice between using the scanning software and using Photoshop. My questions a 1) when should I use the scanning software and when should I use Photoshop? 2) in addition to all of the supplied scanning software, does it make sense to purchase a product like Silverfast? TIA |

"Dale" wrote in message ... SNIP My questions a 1) when should I use the scanning software and when should I use Photoshop? You use the scanner driver to scan, and a photo editor to post-process. 2) in addition to all of the supplied scanning software, does it make sense to purchase a product like Silverfast? Depends on how your current scanner driver performs. All the rest, much of which Silverfast duplicates, is post-processing, best done with Photoshop (much more powerful for editing). Bart |
