type has specific features designed to address the technical

challenges faced in the scanning of graphics or of text.

performing extensive modifications to art, photographs, or other

continuous tone images. While having the ability to scan text,

unlike OCR software it is not designed to specifically identify

individual characters. Any image scanned using a graphics

program can only be saved in a graphics file format (i.e. Tiff or

software CD includes iPhoto Express image editing software to

facilitate your image editing requirements.

OCR: Software in this category is designed to recognize

alphanumeric characters in preparation for export to word

processing and desktop publishing applications. In other terms, it

creates text files. OCR software will not provide image editing

capabilities. If there is no intention of editing a given piece of text

(with or without graphics), it may be simpler to scan and save it as
