[Groop]Gary Learns About Scanners

[Jason Roberts]

Try scanning the image at 75 dots per inch, it's a lower quality image but 
it will do for web pages images. It also reduces image size to about what 
you are looking for, anywhere from 40 to 60kb.

>OK, so I'm trying to learn how to work with the scanner and here is what I

>I'm using Adobe Photoshop 5.5.  My monitor is set for 1162 x 864 pixels.  
>(I
>have no idea why) I'm saving things in jpeg.  I save things at 100%  size.
>When I save them and it asks what Image Options Quality I want I set it at 
>6
>(out of 12) because I couldn't see any difference with the higher numbers
>and they take a lot more KBs.
>
>Under these circumstances, a photo that has been edited down to about 4" x
>3" is way too small on my screen for my taste when I set the pixels for 72.
>When I set it for 150 pixels (the default)  it's a much better size, still
>sharp, and it takes up only 68KBs.  However, when I do the same thing with 
>a
>7" x 5" Turkish comic book cover, it's way bigger than it needs to be to
>look at on the screen.  So I changed that one to 72 pixels, it was a great
>size for looking, at and used up 85KBs.
>
>I think those are manageable sizes.  I sent poor Mark three scans of the
>Turkish Groo before I halfway knew what I was doing and they totaled over
>1MB, including over 250KB for the Turkish Groo cover!!
>(Sorry Mark!)
>
>So anywho, I sort of feel like I know what I'm doing and I'm going to send
>scans of two photos to Daniel that will each take up 60-70 KBs.  Any  major
>flaws in how and what I'm doing?  Thanks -Gary G.
