After a few months, I gave up, because it was taking me too much set up work to get a good image.<br /><br />But, I was kind of particular about it. I wanted the whole image focused, no bokeh and I wanted the brightness at the top of the image to be the same as the bottom (I can see a difference in yours). deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140131381076720375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-50981037449074030632012-01-09T18:09:13.426+01:002012-01-09T18:09:13.426+01:00@Adwoa: I recently stumbled across the LG LSM-100 ...@Adwoa: I recently stumbled across the LG LSM-100 scanner mouse, but if I remember correctly, it doesn't work with Mac neither with Ubuntu.maschinengeschriebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955578932937697125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-80735946598851446892012-01-09T17:48:24.027+01:002012-01-09T17:48:24.027+01:00@Deek: Yes, Tiger would have worked beautifully wi...@Deek: Yes, Tiger would have worked beautifully with this scanner - I last used it on Snow Leopard. Alas, with a swift stroke Lion will no longer support the Canon application I used, so... The cost of another scanner is not what bothers me (I got this one for free) so much as the space it will take up; we are a little cramped around here as you recall, and I have just rediscovered another shelf Adwoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457285629002149759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-91678415850660848302012-01-09T17:39:00.515+01:002012-01-09T17:39:00.515+01:00What's awesomest about those cards is the type...What's awesomest about those cards is the typewriter specificity. Usually when somebody draws a typewriter, they draw a typewriter. You, on the other hand, ink out a Specific Typewriter, and that makes all the difference, especially to observant typospherians.<br /><br />Happy new year to you as well.Duffy Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105074089216551597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-43725300769960874172012-01-09T04:33:22.319+01:002012-01-09T04:33:22.319+01:00It sounds like your holidays, and your time away f...It sounds like your holidays, and your time away from the Typosphere, were wonderful and well spent. I am glad to not be the only one with a late post-Christmas post! The trees by the curb are truly a sad sight. We've seen a few in suburbia as well as some cast off artificial trees.

At least your hard drive did not fail as mine did as I started an old XP machine to do a ghost and install Linux.<br />However you are now in the same boat with Mark; no scanner. The digital photos look fine so no need to spend your hard earned money on a scanner.

What a great Christmas/New Year's vacation you had. And Milan, wow. Your post made me miss living in the Netherlands when it was all too easy to take a train to visit "the neighbors." <br /><br />Here's to an enriching 2012!Ton S. https://www.blogger.com/profile/10691201724230891974noreply@blogger.com
