Hi all,

What tomkin means is can you scan the photo again, but only that little bit?

If you do a preview scan (most scanners do this) then you can see the photo on screen, and with a selection tool, you can draw a box around the bit that you want.  Once you've done that, find where you change the scanning resolution (it will be in a menu somewhere) and change the resolution to maybe 600 or 800 dpi (tomkin, you may have a different idea about what res would be best!).

Then, just scan it, and the little bit you chose will be the only bit the computer scans!  It will be a larger picture and a larger file size than the little one that's currently on the board.

Did that help?

 Erm,      I'd better sleep on this one.
                I shall try again tomorrow.  Scanning and saving a  smaller size?

                              Nite, nite all.

Hi Annie, Lesanne & Prue,
                                          Annie I can't believe that you
haven't got a scanner.I thought i was the only one working
with ancient equipment & I have got one.Drop broad hints at
xmas. ( Nooo! I'm not going to buy you one)
         Prue, I was just trying to compose a method that would
explain ( it could have taken a long time) when you did it
brilliantly. It all depends on the quality of the original. I would do exactly
as you said. first at 150d.p.i. then save it to file,naming it scan 1.
Then do it again at 300d.p.i and save as scan 2.Repeat at 450 d.p.i
& 600 d.pi.. Open all 4 in your photo software and see which gives
the best result( or post all 4 and let us see.)
        Anyway Russell Crowe is just about to kill the baddie Emperor,
So ta ta for now.
Tomkin.

Lordy Tomkin!

Thank goodness you didn't tell Lesanne that - she would have lost it 
I'm talking up a storm for a scanner - but nobody's listening 
Enjoy Russell Crow!!!

Got it Lesanne, printed it. Now we have a name, a face and I guess that is "home". I'll try those tips tomorrow. Thx all!
G'nite

Why not ask the old dear to come out into the light?

  I don't know her exact death date, but it is around 60yrs ago. 

           I suppose I could send a psychic request to sit in front of the digital.
