Scanning Tips
For images intended for e-mail attachments, use .jpg
format, with high quality (little compression) setting.
For images intended to be sent via CD or DVD, use .tif
format which does not compress the image data.
Please
do not use any sharpening, de-screening, dust and scratch removal, or color
correction functions of your scanner. Make sure they are all turned off before
you start your scan.
I prefer to work with .tif format and I strongly suggest it to you. Why reduce or limit the obtainable quality of the restored images right
at the start by not making the scan as good as possible?
The size of my working files usually is around 5 MB, sometimes
reaching 100+ MB. This allows successful printing of images with dimensions up
to twice the size of the originals. Such enlargements are not feasible from
.jpg images.
