There is no particular reason for color vs gray or any particular mode. It is probably a remnant of something I've done along the way while playing with this project. When I originally started I had read several places where the preferred scan process was to do true color at 600 dpi minimum even if the subject item was B/W. When I did the scans I just tried to follow those suggestions. Plus, the image I posted has probably been through a couple of iterations / conversions so I can't guarantee what state they are in as far as any number of gray scale points, etc. Did that even answer your question? I'm very green with all of this. To start from scratch on any of my original scans they would be true color and generally 600 dpi. If conversion to gray scale would be the first step, I would also appreciate suggestions on the best way to do that. Looking at GIMP tutorials I have run across several ways to go from color to B/W. Perhaps there is a best way for this project??? Thanks.
