Scan and edit business card [was: Photo4]

it's not the way to go. If the business card includes a logo and you haven't access, for some reason, to the original a/w, you can scan and include that, but you need to recreate the original typography in (in order of preference) InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop.

Are you going to have the cards printed by a commercial printer or are you printing them yourself on a desktop printer using pre-cut blank business cards, such as those sold by Avery?

You can - but depending on how it was printed and what the image is, it may not give the best results. Depending on the complexity , it may be better to rebuild it using shapes, text etc. in Photoshop or Illustrator.

Edit - Gene posted whilst I was typing - we both agree though

You can't edit scanned fonts, although you can erase them.

If you wanted to add editable text, you use the Type Tool and your information is on editable Type layers. You keep the master file with the layers and you can easily change the information or even the Font, font size, color, and position.

Then you would make a flattened copy for the printers.

Better to design from scratch than to scan, unless you like  the artwork.
