Scanner Fun

I got a new toy - a Genius ColourPage Vivid Pro II (model no. FB624D) scanner! Well, its not new of course, its been sitting inactive in the attic for several years. It was formerly hooked up to Windows 98, and the driver CD was outdated. After a bit of research, i found the right driver called vp2w2k from www.driverguide.com - you have to join and register as a member in order to download, and i found the site quite user-friendly.

This driver is apparantly for Windows 2000, but it works fine on XP. After installing, i was able to simply import scanned images directly into Photoshop. Very handy! Now i have been scanning photos from my backpacking trips. Up to now, ive done the Egypt set and have started on the Cuba photos. Unfortunately the Thailand photos are glued into an album, so i'll have to give some thought to un-glueing them, lol!
