    Buying for a scanner help

    Ok, i would like to buy a scanner now. Probably a scanner that will work with photoshop since its better. i have the software i dont need to nstall another software. I see corel mostly use to scan image with different resolutions. I dont know if PS can do this in scanning since i have no idea in scanners YET.
    In buying scanners what specifications should i see. I know some says HP is the best but i think they just said that because of the name of the company sometimes those that arent famous imho creates better scanners.
    Ok, so what specifications important are needed to consider before buying a scanner. If possible it be able to scan text as ocr and also scan negatives as i read in the previous post about the ice technology. i dont know that.
    Thanks for reading this.

      How essential are scanner specs
      by pavel123
      I apologize if I am asking an obvious (to anybody else) question.

      I have a relatively old scanner (going 5 years or so back HP ScanJet 3400, it wasn't a high end scanner at that time). Can say I am happy with the quality of scanned images. Colors are off, images seem darker (which is a...

      A3 scanner choice
      by Chain
      Hi

      For work I occasionally need to scan some images from books/photographs that we will be used in a magazine. It's nothing high-end or critical.
