I would like to have the flower image that comes in the eMac box as a desktop image, I started a topic in the lounge but maybe here I can find more eMac users.

Thanks in advance.

Probably, yes.
But if they can help you is a completely different thing...

Well, anyone with a scanner on steroids ?

What about taking a picture with a digital camera? (that is assuming you have one) Nearly all but the most basic ones have higher resolution than the computer's display, so the image ought to be good enough. Tweak the image in Graphic Converter or Photoshop if you have it etc etc.

I was about to try this for you, but I have put my box away in the depths of the attic. I am not the world's best photographer, but the secret to a good image will be getting the lighting and exposure right - better 'photographers' here may chime in some advice.

BTW - I like that image as well

I'm workin on scaning my eMac box for you. I was bored and looking for somthing to do, figured I could help out. that big box looks funny on top of my scaner/copier/printer all-in-one thing-a-ma-jig.

Click for photo of me scaning my emac box
Note: the iMac shown is my dads, actually, it's his scaner too but hes not home right now

Im cleaning up the scans in PhotoShop. it took 3 scans to get it all in.

Finished.



I made 4 variations:
  • "eMac" and Apple logo included
  • "eMac" but no Apple logo
  • Apple logo but no "eMac"
  • No logos

Click here to check them out and to download. While you're there let me know if that webpage is working ok. I know there are only 2 pages to look at and both are a lot alike but it’s a work in progress. Any constructive criticism is welcome

Nicely done, I was considering getting my box out and photographing it for the original poster, but you've saved me the trouble.
