Scanning color images is an area that causes a lot of hair ripping, computer kicking and sleep deprivation for many an artist.
Scans come out blurry, pixelated and just plain ugly.
Instead of getting a bigger hammer to fix those scanning blues all you need is a quick primer in Scanning 101. Through a general familiarity with the theory and techniques of getting a good scan you can save yourself hours of time, be more productive and save all that money you are now spending on Rogaine. Always scan your images at 1.5 to 2 times the resolution of the screen of your output device. This will provide enough pixel-data to ensure a sharp output on your particular printer, without bogging your computer down with extraneous data that will never experience a picoliter's worth of rendering. 150ppi to 200ppi for the sharpest results on the output.
