Ok as I am working on this website for a client, he gave me alot of pictures for his site, and they are very colorful pictures. Anyways I tried scanning at 72DPI, because on screen thats all they have to be BUT they turned out like crap. So I decided to scan at 150DPI, not to bad, reduced them to 72DPI in photoshop and they turned out much better then being scanned at 72DPI. I decided to see what scanning at 300DPI and 600DPI would look like and found that I am getting the best results at 600DPI and reducing them to 72DPI. Thing is in the last 30 minutes I have only managed to scan in 4 full page photos. And most of this time is being taking up by the scanner. Does any one have any recommendations on high speed high quality scanners, something that can do a 600DPI scan in 30 seconds vs 5 minutes. Any improvments would be good. I wouldnt mind having a firewire scanner. LOL now if I could get a faster mac so converting from 600 to 72 took seconds vs a minute, that would be my next upgrade later.

I need a firewire scanner for scanning photos at a large DPI, not worried about highspeed document scanners. Ive found some, but was hoping some one here actually have used some.

I've used those Fujitsu scanners on PCs. They are full color, high speed scanners--very nice and very expensive.
One thing you can do to speed up your work if you have photoshop is to fill the scanner with as many photos as you can fit. Then scan the whole batch. In Photoshop, select File > Automate > Crop and Straighten Photos.
