Two questions: 1) What version of Photoshop are you using? 2) How do you get the individual scans to combine into one file?
I'm using Photoshop 7 but I'm only using it for two functions. I found that in many cases OCR software does better from an already scanned page than it does inputing directly from the scanner. Even more so in some cases if I do a bit of correction to the image. You've probably seen papers that a scan or photocopy yields a distinctly dark gray result. So I take a look at the results of a scan before OCRing it and if say the paper comes out grayish I'll use "Curves" to adjust it to black text on a white background. The other place Photoshop comes into it is because my OCR software doesn't do well with images I use Photoshop to to deal with the images that I past into the text document. I don't combine the individual scans. I work with each page separately and turn them into a single page PDF. Then I use Acrobat to combine the pages. Wayne
