Sounds like a stepper motor problem. That will produce thin lines, Most probably your scanners up the shoot and slipping on the stepper belt, try re-scanning at a different Resolution and keep your fingers crossed it re-sets itself.

It's called Portrait Professional, just google it. You can tell it's that as the image is pretty crude on smoothing in the skins tones and blurs out on the edges, Priced at £49 for the cheap version.

Yep, I used a 0-360 and also a Kaidan, They're OK if used for a small viewer, but anything more than around 400x400pixels and they're useless.

Hi Specialise in rare and strange formats, I run large High End Pre-Press Scanners, I should be able to help you out, give me a shout at www.karmaan.co.uk

I run both PC and Macs in a Pro environment. For Web Browsing & Office, file compatibility get a PC, both will run Photoshop fine. yes the Mac will be better but will cost double even more when you add in the cost of Photoshop. You can get a fast Used PC Laptop such as a Dell XPS for around...

Best advice is get a flat picture, no shadows, super sharp, high Aperture, shoot on a Blue/Green Background and cut the image out in photoshop. I'm regularly taking product shots for various print related material. You don't need expensive equipment to take good product shots. All these were...

I obtained an Ipix Rotator but the software was locked as it was based on a Pay Per Pano system. I started then using PTMac and Messing with Apple Quick Time VR Authoring Studio, I found many give inconsistent results. Nowadays I'm using custom built Templates for use with PTMac. Sometimes it...

Give it a go, it's often frustrating but persevere and you'll get there in the end. Taken me around 7 years to get where I am today with them. Started off on an old ipix system, I find them the most interesting kind of photography, thats why I keep at it. I do a lot of boring stuff such as...
