Scanning procedure


1) Scan@100% proper ppi(pixels per inch)
-commonly used: 300 ppi
-print at 260 ppi is good enough
-Silver

2) Rule of 1.5 | 2 x screen= (ppi) Resolution
Rule of 1.5 (by now should be rule of 1)


3) Color Mode
Compression (depends on output device)
RGB: JPEG, GIF, PNG (lossey compression)--loses information 72 ppi
CMYK: TIFF, PSD (non-lossey compression)
-Eye can see the most color, then RGB, CMYK
-TIFF good for print

4) Adjustments (adj layers) non-degenerative
Descreening- getting rid of the dots in all scanned pictures

5) Sharpen
