Thanks, Emily. I'm saving your mails for reference. I'll be using a scanner mostly for my own prints. I use them in my web site and submissions to the Gallery. But the scanner I currently have is messing up my pics. I want to learn digital for many reasons especially for the ease and convenience. And so I don't get left in the dust, so to speak. I like Canon. I have one of their printer's. This I'll be using in my studio for proofs. So would I be correct in assuming that it's okay to mix brands such as Canon printer with Nikon camera and a cheep scanner. I can't see any reason not to. And my big question is, Will PS and Adobe work on a Windows PC? I've worked with a Mac and Adobe Workshop and PS in a company I used to work for. I loved it all. But here, on my own, I just don't have thousands of $. Also, is anyone familiar with the PEI Magazine? I've been reading about this new Leaf Valeo 22 digital camera back. It's listed for $27,500. Could that price be a misprint? And what exactly is a digital camera back? Thanks, Shyrell http://yadtel.net/~jmelara/ On Mon, 01 Dec 2003 20:20:43 -0500 "Emily L.
