Answer by Connie H
ok well scanners work mostly on the strobe system where the 3 types of light red, green and blue are scanned on a flat-bed or platen, the issue of what they can scan would depend on the quality of the image to be scanned if the image is very weak or has very poor definition then the resultant scan would reflect this. some scanners and quite a lot of ‘all-in-one’ printers that have a means to scan have a tool box that helps you choose the DPi and resolution of the scanned image.
Cannon is usually a good make and the overall resolution is made up of dots per inch say 4800 x 2400 or something like that, the higher the DPi the better the image.
after that its all down to the computer what type of graphics you have and the resolution of the screen.
with cannon there is HP and lots of systems that can scan all sorts of items.
What do you think? Answer below!

Some cool photo scanner images:
Mother

Yashica Minister III – Kodak Ektachrome – Epson V600
I don’t think this photo is especially interesting besides the fact that this woman is my mother smiling about 40 years ago, a couple of years before I was born.
The reason I uploaded it, is because I scanned it with my new 6400dpi EPSON Perfection V600 Photo scanner from a very old and in bad shape 35mm Kodak Ektachrome slide I never seen before.
I think the result is amazing considering the age of the slide and the fact that this scanner costs 0 new. As far as I can tell this scanner is better (when used properly) than much more expensive scanners, including industrial scanners like the Noritsu or Fuji labs ones I’ve been using to process my pictures in commercial labs.

Good quality scanners are harder to come by nowadays. Many users seem to have forgotten the art of scanning too, thanks to advances in digital photography. Not one to give up on this area, I wanted to bring you this review of Epson’s Perfection V500 Photo Scanner.

A few nice photo scanner images I found:
BATMAN meets GEISHA meets SALVIDOR DALI — Stupid Scanner Tricks #1
Image by Okinawa Soba (Traveling in Uganda, Africa)
I’ve been using a "scanner as camera" for well over 10 years now. That includes industrial laser copiers and home-use flat beds. It can be fun and creative. If you search SCANNER ART or SCANNER FACE or SCANNER HAND (etc etc) you can see tons of "Scanner Pics" here on flickr — some extremely beautiful, some funny or ridiculous, and some quite amazing. The point being, if you have access to scanner, you DON’T need a camera to take OR MAKE photographs — be it ART or ARTIFICE !
For the above, I simply held the old Geisha Photo in place on the left side of the glass at the "start" of the scan. When the light bar just finished passing her face, I quickly spun the photo 90 degrees while moving it to the center of the glass for a moment (keeping up with the moving scanner light)…..then, I quickly jumped ahead of the moving light bar by sliding and rotating the picture to the other side of the flat bed before the light bar got there. The slightest changes in speed, and the most imperceptible hesitations along the way will cause vast changes in the results. See #2.

So, the next time you get get bored with your camera, but still want to "create" a work of pictorial wonder, stick your Dog, Cat, Flowers, Flea market Junk ,or your own Body Parts into the scanner, and move them around on the glass while the light bar is making its trek across the bed ! Then again, you don’t have to be THAT creative. You can always MOON the scanner, and put the results into an ADULT GROUP. But, come on….you KNOW you can do better than that !
Have Fun !

Scanner Profile over Ansel’s Zones
Image by zoglmannk
This image and "Ansel Adam’s Zones" are scanned from the same negatives.
I learned from this test image that scanning is more tolerant of under-exposure than the wet process of making prints, but it does result in a loss of tonal information as you move away from the optimal exposure by under-exposure. The tonal information seems to be preserved in over-exposure, but it comes at a cost of increased noise of the scanner trying to see through the dense negative. It would be very interesting to re-scan the negatives using a scanner with a better Dmax. My scanner has a Dmax of 3.4 compared to much better scanners that have a Dmax of 4.0.
You really need to look at the much larger size to see the increase in noise and differences of contrast. I have also hosted the original 16bit Tiff files if you would like to form your own opinion. You can download the 108MB file here .
This image was specially created to test out my hybrid analog and digital process. I took 10 pictures following Ansel Adam’s directions in his book "The Negative." I bought a uniformly textured fabric, lit it uniformly as I could, and I metered carefully by 30degree reflection which is represented as zone 5 above. Then I changed each exposure by 1 f-stop. Moving to the right is of increasing exposure and moving to the left is of decreasing exposure. I only had 10 shots on the roll, so I didn’t do a zone 10. If you are unfamiliar, zone 5 is the optimal exposure.
When I scanned each image I set the histogram so there was generally no real clipping in the scanning software and I was getting all of the information from the negative. And I reviewed each histogram after scanning and trimmed it a tiny bit if I errored a bit on the side of caution and had some empty histogram.
zone 0 – f/22 1/30th
zone 1 – f/22 1/60th
zone 2 – f/22 1/30th
zone 3 – f/16 1/30th
zone 4 – f/11 1/30th
zone 5 – f/8 1/30th
zone 6 – f/5.6 1/30 th
zone 7 – f/4 1/30th
zone 8 – f/4 1/15th
zone 9 – f/4 1/8th

A Portable Photo Scanner

A Portable Photo Scanner
When you are traveling for whatever reason, either alone or with family, friends or business associates, and if you are a photography aficionado, you will be glad that you brought your portable photo scanner.
A photo scanner does exactly what its name implies, it scans photographs and turns them into digital images which you can then send to your computer to be stored or used as needed. A portable scanner, however, is very different from a standard scanner because it is lightweight and compact thus making it very easy to take with you to a business meeting or a conferences either in town or out of town. Moreover a portable scanner can easily fit into a laptop bag or briefcase and when you are traveling they are not considered additional baggage which might need special handling.
The portable scanner makes it possible for you, regardless of where you are, to scan your photos immediately and you never have to worry about losing or keeping track them. If you have your own lap top computer and a portable printer with you and you need to print your photos you have them wherever you happen to be staying.
These portable scanners don’t have a lot of different buttons or switches which make them much easier and simpler to use, or in other words, they are user friendly even to the point that they do not require electrical outlets. They can be connected to and get power from an USB which enables you to scan pictures even if there is a power failure where you are or if you are in a remote area where electrical power is not available. Portable scanners can also help you save important documents and business cards which you might receive at an important meeting or conference.
The portable photo scanner will also automatically upload a stack of photographs, scan them into the scanner memory where they can be easily uploaded to digital images on you computer. Another great feature of the photo scanner is that of digital photo correction, with which the photo scanner can make old photos look better and even fix issues with lighting. This great feature also works if your photos have spots or scratches on them. It usually takes only the push of a button for the photo scanner to make the photos good thus relieving you of spending tedious hours editing them.
