Scanning???

[Randi]

Thanks you Moff and Karen! I tried earlier what you suggested, Karen - still didn't get color. It probably is some other setting- I'll try again tomorrow when I'm less sleepy.

I have an Epson scanner too. I see you have it in Professional Mode. You might want to try Home Mode. It's simpler. At some point it asks you how you want to save it and you can choose JPG. I've never had any problem and I've scanned alot of pictures. Good luck!

Unless you are going to put these pics online, i would recommend saving them as a .png file. PNG preserves the quality of the image.

.PNG preserves the quality of the image but the file size is much, much larger than a .JPG. For internet sharing I recommend saving to your hard drive perhaps as a .PNG but convert it to a .JPG before uploading it to the net. Those on slower connections will thank you, plus there really isn't a HUGE difference in quality to be honest.

Scanned photos regardless are always going to be a little lower quality anyway unless you have a very nice scanner, and even then you can have smudge marks, blurriness, etc.
