Scanner
Epson Perfection 1660 Photo ($149): The USB 2.0-equipped Perfection 1660 Photo aced our 300-dpi scanning speed tests, accurately captured color and black-and-white images, and includes such extras as a 35mm filmstrip adapter.
Image Editing Software
Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 ($90): Who can argue with an image editing package that delivers most of Photoshop's power at less than one-sixth of its price? Unless you need sophisticated prepress features, Elements is the way to go.
