- ===========================
-
-
- I obtained this scanner last week. I have had many scanners in my possesion
-
- but none that I can remember well enough to give an acurate review. The
-
- Naksha scanner cost me around £120 and is an excellent scanner - One of the
-
- best that I have ever owned infact!
-
- The Nasksha has two rubber rollers instead of wheels and I found this gave a
-
- smoother feel to the scanner and the rollers will probably end up outlasting
-
- any wheels, it also allows much steadier scans.
-
- The dither patterns are of superior quality compared to other scanners and
-
- I was very pleased with some of the results.
-
- The scanner comes along with a program called 'Touch-Up' (or it did when I
-
- purchased my scanner anyway) and this program can handle a numer of formats,
-
- those being the following:
-
- DEGAS, GIF, TIFF, IFF, MACPAINT, PCX and IMG files. If you are saving in
-
- Monochrome then images can be saved in 16 geyscale IFFs or 256 greyscale
-
- TIFFs. Touch Up is an excellent program and is a complete art package with
-
- all of the expected functions and more.
-
- To top it all off, the head is bigger to make scanning even quicker and
-
- easier.
-
-
- POWER RATING:88%
-
-
- A NOTE FROM POWER:
-
- Thanks for that Stephen, I could do with a few more reviews such as yours,
-
- one point though, when reviewing, could you TRY and have an UPS and DOWNS
-
- list at the end of the review. It just makes a good summary that's all!!!
-
- Anyway, thanks again for the review and I hope you write some more for
-
- POWER. Oh, thanks for the scanned pictures, you may well see some appearing
-
- in the next issues slide show. By the way, if anyone can design me a new
-
- logo or send me some piccies for the slideshow then I would much appreciate
-
- it and you would be fully credited!
-
- Thanks!!!
