- The image may be scanned using any standard image editing program (i.e. Corel Photo-Paint, Adobe Photoshop);
- Set the resolution at 600 dpi. "DPI", also known as "PPI", is an abbreviation for Dots per Inch or Pixels per Inch. The higher the resolution, the higher the quality of the scan. However, this elevated resolution does create a rather large file, one that will not be easily sent via e-mail. Depending on your system, it may be necessary to scan at a lower resolution;
- Select the correct color setting within your scanning program. This setting identifies the type of artwork being scanned so that the scanner can adjust accordingly. If you have black & white camera-ready slicks, select the "Line Art" setting. Artwork is not generally of this caliber and will need to be scanned using "Millions of Colors" for the best clarity;
- Be certain that the graphic is placed on the scanner so that the image is as straight as possible. This will ensure a better-finished product;
- Crop the image in an effort to scan the smallest possible object.
- We recommend that you create a new folder on your hard-drive (perhaps named "Scanned" or "JPG") so that you may easily retrieve and track the image files. Save the file in this folder as a "JPG" file. When you save the file, there is an option to set the Quality Factor. Be certain to specify image quality as "High Quality". If a JPG filetype is not an available option, please format the file as a "BMP", "GIF" or "TIF";
- You are now ready to e-mail us the image.
