Scanning Tips
Choose the best possible photo. Allthough you can make
adjustments on your image with the image editing programs, the better your
original scanning photo, the better your final scan will be. For better
results, choose pictures with good contrast and that also have good
lighting.
Always scan your image in the position or direction in which the image
will be used. If you rotate the image in your image editing program, some
detail will be lost.
Scan only the part of the image that you need. If you dont need the whole
image but only a small portion of it, then just scan that portion. Your
scanner software has the tools to do this.
To make adjustments to color and sharpness on your scanned image, use your
image editor, not the scanning software of your scanner.
When saving a jpg, a quality of 2, 3 or 4 is generally sufficient for
scanning for the web.
When you are editing, dont forget that the image's appearance will change
from monitor to monitor. Also, the height and width of the image will vary
from software to software.
Read the manual for your scanner software if available and get to know
your scanner software. Or, just play with the scanner software until you are
sufficiently familiar with it. As you make more and more scans, you will
better understand how to get the best results from your scanner.
