For example follow the link: <br /><a href="http://lobotomy.pleh.net/~flareupload/uploads/44/kohnma.jpg" target="_blank">http://lobotomy.pleh.net/~flareupload/uploads/44/kohnma.jpg</a> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Aban Rune</b> <br /><small>Member # 226</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,10,19,5,13,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 19, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:13 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> It's almost impossible to get rid of it. Some scanners have what called a "descreening" function which is a fancy way of saying they blur the picture a little to get the dots to be less noticable. It happens when you scan printed material. Printing is done with little dots of ink, so when you scan... you're scanning dots.<br /><br />My best advice is to scan it hella lot bigger than you need it, then reduce size and resolution. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>SoundEffect</b> <br /><small>Member # 926</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,10,19,8,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 19, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:14 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> From what I've learned of descreening, it's a filter that helps to remove the patterns of dots that appear from newsprint or magazine pictures. It's not so much a blurring effect, but a pattern removal. My scanner software allows me to select the level of descreening, plus it has presets for artwork, newsprint and magazines.<br /><br />I agree that scanning larger than needed and reducing (in Photoshop, for example) will greatly increase the quality of your scans.<br /><br />Look in your scanner's help section. Most have a 'moire removal' or 'descreen function'. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>AndrewR</b> <br /><small>Member # 44</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,10,19,8,47,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 19, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:47 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Thanks for the info.
