Is it? I thought the discussion was talking about
colour line-art.
In scanning, line-art means 1bpp, at least in my experience;
Only if you like your
line art to be highly aliased!
I mean that, in a scanning context, if you see a "line art" setting, it
normally produces a 1bpp result.
Yeah. Most front end stupid user software for scanners produces the
shittiest results, IMO. I always end up scanning at high res, down
filtering in software and then quantizing and the scanner software
always wants to do stupid things to *help* me. The HP scanner front
end was absolutely atrocious; the builtin scanner wizard in WinXP made
me more productive!
