Scanning Tipsby www.printcountry.com • 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 don’t 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, don’t 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. <<PREVIOUS
