Does anyone know any good conversion setting in Adobe Streamline for lineart scans? SPACE

Yeah. settings... My copy came with a bunch of standard settings. For Line Art too. Or maybe they will be called "Technical" or something. Those give good starts. With line art scans, you should remember that the needed dots-per-inch of the original material is much higher than with your standard color rgb conversion. If you have a manual, the secret is in there... And after years of experimenting, a lot of times I import the thing in Illustrator And do it myself. So I do not have to get rid of the waste... The resulting .eps most of the time is much easier to handle afterwards. Really. It depends on what you want from the end result, but Streamline stuff is most usefull when you want quick art from photographs. Lineart, when scanned at high resolutions, results in 'traced' pictures, that look a bit worse compared to hi-res tif files... The dot per inch thing for line art is MUCH higher than the one for other stuff. Like 1200 dpi. Before you know your Streamline stuff looks like something made our of Lego or something degraded/washed out. I found out that old-fashioned line-art just can not be transferred to a vector graphic automatically without losing some of the information. But on a part of the assignments, it does not make a big difference on the effect. That margin (does it have any effect on the impression the final art makes) actually defines if it is needed to re-draw the whole thing, or go with the Streamline-provided flow. In which the Streamline method is something that saves time, but only if quality is not one of the main considerations. Mmmmm. This is not really an answer you want, is it? The stuff I use from Streamline is just a starting point. It is just a tool. And I do understand why there will not be an update. Ever. I regret it. But it is reality as we know it. Without the borders we boldy cross. Or whatever. No need to get captain Picard in this particular subject, I think.

Jeez. What a lot of words... Sorry for that. I found out, during some years, Streamline is one of the tools of the trade. Just a tool. It actually never Hreally does miracles. It just traces. It traces stuff that already is there. In the right resolution. Like a hammer. One needs it. But one can not brag much about it. Adobe is not doing much PR on the thing lately... It still saved my bum a couple of times though...
