Scanning a grayscale image

Go to the Settings window, and from the Type drop-down menu, choose
1
256 shades of gray.
2 Click on the Preview button in the Preview window. In a few moments, a
preliminary view of the image will appear in the preview area.
Click on the Scan Frame tool. With the pointer now a crossbar, move to the
3
image and define the scan frame (by holding down the mouse and dragging
it to draw a box). The scan frame will be enclosed by dotted lines and will
be the actual area that is scanned when you click on the Scan button.
At the Settings window, set the resolution. Take note of the following:
4
• Do not select a resolution setting which is the same as that of your
printer, unless you have a dye-sublimation printer. For now, set resolu-
tion at 72 or 75 dpi.
• For laser printers, as well as inkjet and bubblejet color printers, 75 to 100
dpi is enough.
• For outputting to an typesetting machine at 1200 or 2400 dpi, set
resolution at 300 dpi.
5 To scan the image, click on the Scan button in the Preview window. The
image will be scanned and delivered to Adobe Photoshop or your image-
editing software, where it can be saved as a file.
