Product Description
The only book of its kind, The Color Scanning Handbook will help you get the most out of any HP ScanJet scanner. No other book offers such in-depth coverage of scanning software and related tools. The book starts by explaining how color works -- and how color scanning works. It describes how to choose image types and file formats; how to get the best color scans using DeskScan tools and controls; and how to use scanned images with your other software applications. There's detailed coverage of scanning for print, using desktop printers for proofing, and scanning for use on the World Wide Web. Learn how to convert scanned images to vector formats using tracing software. The book contains dozens of inside tips and tricks you won't find anywhere else. This book is for every owner of an HP ScanJet scanner, especially those involved in desktop or electronic publishing. For both PC and Macintosh users.

 If you use a scanner, you need this book! October 22, 1997

Jerry Day's "Color Scanning Handbook: Your Guide to HP Color Scanners" is a must-have resource for those who have purchased *any* brand of scanner. This comprehensive guide not only walks the reader through the basics--resolution, color gamut, color theory, TWAIN specifications, and more--but Jerry's intention is to integrate what you learn with goal-oriented work. What's a scanner good for? What are the optimal settings for scanning for the Web (and web offset)? Jerry's informal tone and energy clearly drive the points home, and make this excellent resource guide more than a handbook. It's darned good technical reading for anyone who wants to understand--and apply--some very well organized information. Gary David Bouton,

Let me make it really simple, if you own an HP Scanner (that's roughly 75% of you), you must get this book. Jerry teaches you everything you need to know to get the very best out of your HP scanner. Of course if you just need a book to help sleep at night I could recommend a few other books on scanning... David Huss, Author of the Official Corel PHOTO-PAINT Guides.

This book is certainly worth the price! Jerry Day's photography background really shines through in his explanations. Here are suggestions that are "street smart," practical, and very useful. DISSAPOINTMENT: In the blazing changes of computer technology a three year old publication just does not qualify for an "A". Jerry did a great job, now let him update it.

I've owned an HP Scanjet 4c for about a year. I'm needing tips/techniques for faxing and OCR. The synopsis leads one to believe it's "everything a scanjet owner needs to know" There is ZERO about faxing and OCR in the book. It is strictly images orientated.
 Touches on a lot of topics, but not in detail August 27, 1999

The book has a lot of information in it; although, it doesn't go into much detail leaving me with more questions rather than answers.Also, the book does not cover the current line of HP scanners. It talks a lot about the DeskScan II software which, evidently, came with previous HP models; however, DeskScan II is not shipped with the current line of HP scanners. And the PrecisionScan software which does come with current scanners does not have the same features/capabilities as the DeskScan II software.
