Re: scanning help

Walter,
I use the same scanner with Paint Shop Pro and use the "acquire" command in
paint shop
so that I do not have to use the Picture Publisher software that came with
the scanner.
(I just prefer Paint Shop)
The size of your 35mm picture should not matter.   I usually scan at 150 -
200 dpi and then
"resample"    not   "resize"  to my desired dimensions.  This results in a
much better image
quality.    "Resample" will not work on images that are 256 colors or lower
so save them
 as JPG's or other high color formats intitially.
Hope this helps,
