I wish technology was more like an old Schwinn—keep it clean and it'll outlast you. I really miss my Canon LiDE 500—which lasted somewhere in the ballpark of 7-10 years. I first tried an HP all-in-one borrowed from my folks… That scan is on the left. It just lacked the detail I was used to with the Canon so I decided to go ahead and get a new Canon, but I went with the 120 instead of the 500 (they seem essentially the same except for price). That scan is on the right. The color is a little off from the original drawing, but the detail is there so I can color correct a bit. Still trying to get it to talk to Photoshop a little better—it doesn't seem to recognize the plug-in like the old scanner, but that'll sort itself out in it's banal way. OK let's get on with some Curio posters now…
