Ladies, hope you can help.  I have a Cannon printer/copier/scanner (can't remember the model).  Anyway, I only really use it for scanning and that function quit working today and is giving me an error message.  Can ya'll recommend a good scanner and if so one that works with the ArcSoft Scan-N-Stitch software?  So many scanners today don't open the way that is needed for the Scan-N-Stitch software.  Thanks for any help/ideas ya'll have.

Becca, wish I could help. But, you still have Arc Soft Scan and Stitch Software?  I went to purchase a newer version when we got our new computer 2 years ago and don't make it anymore.  So I was told. I loved that program. I hope you can find a scanner that will work with it.

I have the CD so I could install it on my new computer (thank goodness) when I got it!  

I had a wide format scanner so I didn't use a stitch program.  When I started using my digital camera to take pics of my layouts, I sold that scanner too.  I use a free downloadable program called Picasa to crop and "fix" the photo.  The program has some cool tools along with straightening the digi shot like turning a photo into b/w or sepia or creating a photo into a sketch.  Save yourself lots of money on a scanner and try picasa with your digital camera.
