Hi there folks ...

I am looking to purchase a flat-bed scanner ... but was wondering which ones work successfully with Photoshop 7 and OS X.

I was also hoping that y'all might be able to give me some advice as to which scanner would be a good buy.

Thanks

Gordon

Epsons, they work well and they have native drivers in OSX.

All the HP's I ever used we horrible.

I'm not a scanner expert (I have an old $75 Agfa that I just use on very rare occasions).
However, the March 2003 issue of Macworld has a big scanner feature in it, comparing and reviewing 2 models each from Epson, HP, and Canon. You may want to check that out (the reviews should be online at www.macworld.com too). For the record, the Epson Perfection 2400 Photo and the HP Scanjet 5500c got the best ratings (4/5).
