When we set up our libraries for a LSTA digitization project we used GIMP. GIMP is a GNU licensed (freeware) program that is VERY similar to PhotoShop and is infinitely cheaper (free). We used the TWAIN driver for the scanner and just did our scanning inside GIMP (BTW GIMP stands for Gnu Image Manipulation Program) Click File/Create/Scanner/Camera... and then choose your scanner. GIMP works like a champ on XP as well as Win7.<br>

<br>
We are planning to put scanners at our locations for use by the public.<br>
What we have are standard HP USB scanners. Does anybody have any tips<br>
on how to best set this up, or software we might use? Our staff<br>
computers are Windows XP, and public computers are XP or 7.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
