Mike, those are the default settings. The only tweaking I do is to sharpen the scan a bit after I upload it to my flickr site. Unfortunately I don't know how to do much else with the scans. Here's another example from the Canon scanner:

Jeff,
I'm really impressed with how that Epson reproduces the color. I thought maybe it was just the Cobb, but the Jackson looks great too. By the way, you didn't happen to win the Cobb Piedmont Art Stamp last night (Huggins and Scott)...I was the underbidder wondering if that might have been you that won it  ...Congrats if you did.Mike

Mike, my scanner is the Canon 8800F. And no, I didn't win that Cobb stamp -- not my fault!

Just to complete my comments above, attached is a scan of the same card from my new L7780 (just hooked up moments ago). As with the two scans I posted above, in the one on the left, I'm not using any sharpening or modification to the scan. Just for fun, for the one on the right, I sharpened and increased the color saturation of the image.

Jeff's Scans...
Jeff - I have always salivated at not only your cards, but the scans you put out seem to be the best of the best in my humble opinion. I have been needing to get a scanner for some time and after looking, again at the few scans you just put up, I have to go with the 8800F.
Is there anything about the Cannon you do not like ? Thanks, JJ

Jeff's scans have been enhanced with software - as I showed above (post above yours, image on the right), using free Picasa software I made my CJ Cobb bright and super sharp as well. It may be that the default setting on that particular scanner is to adjust the image to that level, but that's a function of software and NOT the scanner.

great discussion for me as I am looking to buy my first scanner at home.
Do the Canon scanners (4400 and 8800) work well with Macs and is the sofware easy to use/set up? I've heard mixed things about the software. Are there major differences between these two Canon scanners? Thanks, Brian
