[QUOTE="skippy, post: 542571, member: 5296"]If you really need the file in PSD format here's what you do: (I have done this for a couple of my post of some notes here, but I did already have the program) Find an old copy of Photoshop CS or CS2 which came with the extra program called ImageReady. You might find a copy on eBay for a decent price; just make sure they transfer the license to you or that it has never been registered. ImageReady has built in scanner access under the File | Import menu. Any scanner in the past 10 years is accessible via the Twain driver. The Epson scanner software will load, scan the note at any desirable dpi resolution, it will bring it automatically into ImageReady, crop/resize as needed in ImageReady, and then save it as a JPG or PSD file. I can't recall if the PSD can be opened in the full Photoshop program but I don't recall a "you can't do that" error prompt when I tried. But if nothing else you can just open it in ImageReady any time you want and do the basic resize, crop, adjust, resave as another format at anytime but you still have your original uncompressed PSD file as a backup. So all in all it's not the scanner that's the problem but the software you use. If you'd like to try a free basic image program try IrfanView which has Twain access but it won't save in PSD format but you can save it in an uncompressed TIFF format and resize, crop, from there. I've used this free, frequently updated program since 1998. BTW my scanner is an older Epson 3170 model that has more than enough resolution for document scanning.[/QUOTE]
