Using Scanners
For the best image quality, make as many adjustments as possible in the scanner imaging software before scanning. These adjustments, many of which are listed below, can increase the resolution of the image, resulting in higher quality images:
zSelect the appropriate image type (for example, color photograph, line art, or text).
zSelect the optimum image resolution based on image type, at least 300 dpi for most images; however, select 600 dpi for line art, graphics, and text.
zCrop the image to scan only what you need. Scale the image for the optimum resolution when it is reproduced.
zAdjust the image sharpness, contrast, and brightness.
zSet the gamma correction to 2.2. For more information on scanner gamma correction, see the scanner's documentation.
zWhen possible, import images at the size you plan to use (actual size).
