Scaling (Resizing) Images

If you plan to enlarge your image, it's better to enlarge it by scanning at a higher

resolution. If you change the image resolution or size in an application, you lose image

quality. Keep this in mind when scanning small photos or film that you plan to

enlarge.

If the colors in your scanned image don't match those in your original document, try

experimenting with the Document Type/Image Type settings and Image Adjustment

settings to adjust the colors. Also, try selecting just the area that you want to scan with

a marquee (see page 16). This will let the scanner software choose the optimum color

and exposure settings for that part of the image. If there is a border around your image

or if the document cover is in the scanning area, this may adjust the exposure and

colors in your scan.
