I have studied the tutorials, and posted pictures, but one question remains. Using my Canon scanner, I set mode to colour; quality to 600dpi; measurement. With those settings, there is no preview before the scan.
If I check 'use the scanner driver for advanced settings', there is a preview.
My question is -- Does the scanner then use my settings? Can you tell by looking at my recent posting of Great Grandfather 1890s?
Regards, Kathleen

Hi Kathleen
It is scanned in colour but it's 300 dpi according to my software.

Hi Gadget,
So, I'd better do without the preview and work with my own settings, I guess.
Would you suggest that I post this one again?

It's not just the resolution but also the jpg. compression and I can't tell what that is on yours. It's very small and is badly pixellated at 2 x size. I think, if I were you, I'd re scan.

Thanks Gadget, I'll work at it some more, though I'm not sure what you mean by 'the jpg compression'. I didn't set anything for compression.
Why is it that just when we think we have something figured out, we don't?

Here's an example of it at 300% which is around the size that I might use for repairing it
JPg is what's called a 'Lossy' format. The information for the image that is part of each file can be reduced (compressed) to make it a smaller file size. When you save it as jpg there should be a slider (in PS) or an Options button in PSP that gives you the chance to have a High quality large image (not much compression) or a lower quality smaller image (lots of compression). The image can still be at 600 or 300 dpi but if it's compressed it is not as clear.

Thanks Gadget,
Now, with high hopes, I'll post the new one.
