2-2 Before You Begin —Macintosh Computer
Required Hardware

Computer

Apple Macintosh Computer that: supports 32-Bit QuickDraw software;
has at least 8 megabytes (MB) random access memory (RAM) installed (32
MB RAM or more is recommended for fastest scan times); has 80 MB of
free space on its hard disk. Adobe Photoshop requires three to five times
the size of the scanned image file in combined hard disk space and RAM.
NOTE: Adobe Photoshop 3.0, when run on a Power Macintosh, needs a mini-
mum of 16 MB of RAM (including at least 11 MB of RAM in addition to the
memory used by the operating system), and recommends 24 MB of RAM.

Monitor

Apple Macintosh or compatible monitor, 13” or greater (with a minimum
640 x 480 pixel screen size). A high-quality color monitor displays the
best image. (The quality of the scan is not affected by the monitor in use.)

Display Card

Use the appropriate display card for the monitor to be used; we recom-
mend an 8-bit or, preferably, 24-bit video display card. (The built-in video
capability supplied with some Macintosh Computers may be sufficient.)
