 | | The steps in this article use a commonly available Hewlett Packard (HP) Scanjet scanner. The first example uses the generic Windows Scanner Wizard to scan a photograph. The second example uses the more flexible HP software that comes with the scanner. Scanners from other manufacturers and the software that comes with them are likely to have slight differences, although the general procedures are pretty similar. Even if you're not using an HP scanner, these steps help guide you through the process.
| | | With the original document (or whatever it is you're scanning) aligned and your cover of your scanner closed — that is, if you have a cover — it's time to turn your attention to the software end of things. Your first task at the keyboard is to properly tune a handful of settings that control your scanning-capture software.
The example in this article uses the Windows version of Hewlett-Packard's Director software application and an HP ScanJet 5530 scanner. The Mac version of this great scanner-control program is similar to the Windows version, making it especially valuable to the rogues of the computer world who give both platforms equal time. Therefore, you should be able to follow along easily if you use this scanning application, no matter which breed of computer you favor.
| | | Scanning existing photographic prints, drawings, slides, and negatives is a popular use for digital imaging. By scanning existing images, you can preserve vintage photographs on CD-Rs and CD-RWs, repair and retouch your family album, and share images with friends and family without losing control of your valuable negatives or original prints. You can e-mail or post your images on a Web site, even when they were not shot with your digital camera. In order to take advantage of these opportunities to use and share your existing photos in a digital format, you need to scan them into digital images.
After you scan your images, you can use them in exactly the same ways that you use images snapped with your digital camera. You can use images from either source to mix and match, cut and paste, e-mail, and blog away to your heart's content.
| | | Damage comes in all shapes and sizes — little specks of dust; scratches thin and wide, short and long; water marks or discoloration from tape; missing corners. And you can use all kinds of repairs to fix them.
Artifacts in digital photos are the little stray marks, blips, and other tiny blemishes that appear on images when those images are captured and manipulated electronically. The term artifact also sometimes applies to the dust and scratches that accumulate on printed photos and that end up in the digital version of the photo after you scan it. Most scanned images have at least a few dings.
| | | Create slideshows using your digital photos. With a single click, you can touch-up, crop, or rotate pictures. Add stunning special effects, soundtracks, and your own voice narration to your photo stories. Then, personalize them with titles and captions. Small file sizes make it easy to send your photo stories in an e-mail. Watch them on your TV, a computer, or a Windows Mobile–based portable device. | | | Using Photostory, you can create slideshows using your digital photos.
