An extraction from a lengthly tutorial. Scanning: Set the scan resolution to 300 dpi and always save as an uncompressed TIF (tagged image format. ) Do not save as JPG. Set to use RGB colors To reduce the size of the file you should SCALE the scan to roughly the final print size that you want the image to be (a ruler is handy). Remember that a CD booklet is approximately 4.75" square, so reduce the scan size if you are trying to scan an 8" x 10" image ----- Original Message ----- From: "PcCowboy" <saddle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "pchelper" <pchelpers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 12:46 PM Subject: [pchelpers] photo format > My wife is scanning our photos to the computer > and then burning then to a cd. > We were wondering which format would have the best > quality for reprinting. > > Pc --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
