Careful when printing scanned
images |
| |
|
All scanners come with software
to manipulate in certain way the scanned image; some software allows
printing the same size that an image appears on the screen; but beware,
the resolution doesn’t establish the printed image size. |

Increase contrast to enhance
sharpness |
|
|
|
Increase the contrast in black
and white scanned images, doing so frequently improves sharpness and
detail on an image. |

|
|
Save scanned images in common
formats |
| |
|
When saving a newly scanned
image, save it as GIF if the option is available; if not, save the
images as TIFF, BMP or PCX formats; these are common saving formats and
are compatible with different image editing software available in the
market. |

|
Scan at higher resolution |
| |
|
When a scanned image is to be
paper-printed, scan it at least at 300 DPI; 600 DPI is better. If the
image is going to be posted online, still scan the image at higher
resolution, save it, and then, change the image to lower resolution. |

|
|
|
Use the scaling tool for
printing |
| |
|
A very important tool for
printing after an image has been scanned is ‘Scaling’; it can be done
during or after the scanning process. |
