~ OT: Scanning (optical) question

[Garey Barrell]

Ed -

Check for a "descreen" control on your scanning software.

The yucky pictures are a result of a "beat note"
between the resolution of the scanner and the screen of
the photo.  On mine, "Magazine" (150 dpi) seems to take
care of most.  Slows the scan process a bit, but fixes
the problem.
