Scanning Instructions

There are many options for scanning, but these are the most important (to me at least)

I use different scanning settings for different types of pages.

Scanning Priorities

Some parts are higher priority than others. Here are my preferences, in descending order

Scanning Examples: Descreen and Unsharp

Descreening will reduce the interference patterns due to the printing process used in Prelude Yearbooks. Unsharpening is sometimes useful to make a scanned image smoother. The images on this page were all scanned at 300 dpi, saved in JPEG format at 77 quality. They are scaled to the window width, so you can change the width and see the interference patterns, at least until your browser compensates.
