  • Mac digitizing software

    I have discovered that Stitch Buddy works great for Mac users who want to do simple file conversions. If anyone is looking for something for that purpose, it really is worth the $49.95. However, I would like to find software for Mac users to actually digitize scanned images. Anyone have a suggestion...
