- When I worked at Egghead, I remember seeing a device which is like an
- easle with a frame to hold a hand held scanner. It came bundled with
- software which would convert a grey-scale scanner to a color scanner.
- All one would have to do is put a color picture under the scanner,
- pass it over the picture three times and the software would generate
- a color picture. Of course this was only availible for IBM compatible
- computers. What I'd like to know is if this same technology could
- work on a GS. I've already got a Quickie scanner and it does an
- excellent job in scanning grey scale, but to color a picture in a
- paint program requires a big effort.
-
- Also I remember seeing an ad somewhere that Thunderware's Lightning
- Scan hand held scanner is availible for a Mac. As I understand, this
- should be the exact same scanner head as the GS version which is the
- same as the Quickie scanner. What I'd like to know is can Thunderware
- sell just the software and the interface for the Mac? I'd like to use
- my Quickie on my Mac sometimes, but now I just scan pictures on my GS
- and convert them to a GIF format before I throw it onto the Mac.
