[Ham-Computers] RE: Scanning Text And Images Mixed

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

No drawings.	
	
Mainly older magazines and newspaper articles from 1969 back with some photos.	
	
Some color on large promotional 5X7 cards, both text and photos.	
	
I guess I have sort of a dog from every county, heh?	
	
The majority will be the newspaper and magazine types, however.

Duane,

What is the nature of the images?  Color, B&W photograph, half-tone 
photograph (as in newsprint and most radio manuals), drawing simulating a
photograph 
(common in pre-war radio technical manuals) or B&W logos and that sort of thing?

 Remember that OCR software treats things like logos, outline drawings, 
schematics and wiring diagrams as images, but you still scan them just as you
would 
text.  Not as you would a photograph.
