That always works best in *all* scanning situations, IMHO. :-)
The problem remains: what to do about the many otherwise-good pics that
*aren't* "Spot On?" (and in my case, there're quite a few! ;-) )
Skill and Time are required of course, but "knowing where to start" is a
prerequisite! That's why this List is so good.

a 2720 dpi scanner :), but by crikey your original needs to be spot on!)

it yourself..

I suggest you stick to the highest printer resolution for the paper in use
- at lower figures you get much worse dithering effects, esp. on a 4-colour
inkjet printer..
