So, now, if you have your scanner already, it’s best to start with a low resolution setting and work your way up from there. The default resolution of 150 DPI might not be a bad place to start. Then,
next important setting is
“output type” which describes what type of image you’re scanning. Save space and time by cropping
pictures before scanning them and closing some other applications on your computers. If you’re having trouble with
scanning software, consult
manual.
To top all scanning basics lessons, remember that scanning is a two-part process. The first part is setting of
resolution and output and making
scan, and
second is saving and editing
file. Saving is an important process and it’s a good option to save your files in BMP or TIFF, especially if you plan to import them into Photoshop for adjustments. Try keeping images bound for website under 40 KB. And for images that you want to print out, save them as TIFF uncompressed or BMP and use a high DPI setting (300 and up) when scanning them.
Have fun editing your image once you’ve scanned them…Remember, if you foul up, you can still start
whole scanning process – as long as you have your scanner handy!
