Hi,
Does anybody understand why when one scans photos off an Epson 1200
Perfection (not accurate I think) scanner the results are slightly less
sharp than looking at the photo itself.
I scanned at 600 dpi and used Adobe Acrobat 6.0 to process the image
size down to 1100 x 700 pixels. I tried higher dpi setting and allowing
more pixels but it didn't seem to make a difference.
I wonder if it's something to do with older scanner technology (it's a 5
year old scanner at least) or just a reality of scanning photos with
consumer scanners. I assume that $1000 scanners used by ad agencies
don't have this problem.
If this is the wrong group to posts this to, does anybody know of a
newsgroup that would be able to help?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Patrick
