Ive got a basic a4 ? scanner
I wish it was bigger as newspaper (and mag) pics are
often bigger and I have to chop off legs and feet.
The settings are pretty basic
I set the pixels to 300 dpi
I set the contrast to + 35
I set the brightness to - 30
and that is basically it
It usu gives good results.
the settings may seem a bit crazy , but they
work, give them a try
the files are big say 1.5 meg so I use
windows resizer to get them down to around 100 k.
(you don t seem to lose any pic quality )
I ve often thought there must be scanners out there with
more elaborate software that can give better results.
So many people are scanning around the world, day after
day, you d think there be a range and some rolls royce
models somewhere, but Ive yet to find them.
They could make scanning a pleasure and an art instead
of a drudge , which is what it is with only a small window
to see the preview of a scan... things could be so much
different with full screen prieviews and options to
change a range of settings.
Instead all I have is contrast and brightness
A scanner with wings or edges would be good too
to give support when scanning pics in books etc
