Tom,
Thanks for the info. I alwo want to start scanning my collection.
I've got the Polyview program, which has a slideshow feature that
will show a continuous slide show of any files you select on your
computer. It's great to leave on like a screen-saver all day.
A show of my shell collection would be fantastic.


Nancy,
I have a direct scan of my Papustyla pulcherrima on my website if
you want to see it. My professor at college did it for me (I don't
remember what kind of scanner it was, but it did a great job.)
Re backgrounds: how about building a large black velvet lined
box to fit over your scanner when scanning shells.

Regards, Peter
