Title: Young George- encore- scanned 300dpi
Post by: HPUTodd on Thursday 08 May 08 13:03 BST (UK)
Hope I've got it right this time. Scanned in it's original colour.
 I had changed it to enhance it- I thought!

Sorry Todd,

It's at 120 dpi and for an image that is about 1 1/2 inches square that is far too small.

You need at least 600 dpi and a file size as near 500kb as you can get (no compression) Your file is only 7 kb ie only 1/100th of the detail you can post here.

My Canonscan 9950F tells me I'm scanning at 300 dpi- but the results prove otherwise. After scanning, but before posting,  I try to see what the size of the image is, but it's measured in KBs. not dpis,  so I'm a bit thick on how many I should have, as an equivalent, before posting.

All suggestions welcome, as I hate to be tiresome.

If you have Scangear CS and click on advance mode it should let you set the resolution in dpi.

I have a 9000 and it has never let me down.
