Does your scanning software have an option to do antialiasing on
scans of BenDay pictures (pictures printed as zillions of teeny
dots)? If yes, that can drastically improve the quality of the
scanned image.
That's a very handy feature of scanning software, and my HP includes it.
An alternative is to scan at very high resolution (600 DPI), then use a photo
editor with a Sharpen/Blur command to blur the way-oversize scan image just
enough to merge the half-tone dots. Then resize it down to something
reasonable.
If when you downsize it, you see aliasing bands, it means you didn't blur it
enough -- go back to the big image and blur it some more, resize again, etc.
But I agree that, given a real live example of a piece of gear, better to grab
the digi-cam and shoot the gear -- color, interiors, etc. 73, Mike K.
