Photo & Image Scanning

Scanning your photos and images will take them from their current paper format and transform them into a digital format. While paper format is measured by inches or centimeters, digital format is measured by pixels/dots per inch (dpi).

I currently use a HP scanner with resolution from 1200x2400 dpi optical, up to 9600 dpi enhanced. The current scanning area is a standard paper size of 8.5"x11". Images can be saved in jpg, gif, tif, bmp, png, eps or psd formats. Below are examples of different scanning resolutions:

The sample pictures is a regular stamp. All images have been cropped to approximately 0.92"x0.92", but due to the resolution, they appear to be different sizes. The scanner defaults to 200dpi, which usually looks the best.
