First, scan at higher resolution than yu plan to use. At least double. SOmetimes i find that select by colour works well. (1) make sure you have both blacks andwhites in your image, e.g. with levels or curves. (2) select by colour on a white area. (3) grow selection e.g. 2 pixels )4_ shrink selectin by 2 pixels (6) feather by 1 pixel (requires greyscale or RGB iamge, not indexed) (7) fill with white (e.g. drag the swatch from the toolbox, or use control-. or control-,) (8) select none repeat steps 2 to 8 with black instead of white. slave liam -- Liam Quin - web slave for https://www.fromoldbooks.org/ with fabulous vintage art and fascinating texts to read.
