I need advice from those with experience who have scanned various
vital records. I am mostly concerned with documents which are
photocopies, that is, those records that are black text on white
paper. I have been experimenting with .tif and .gif files. I have
tried 300dpi and 600dpi. I have used Photo/Color, Magazine/Color, and
Newspaper/Black & White. Sometimes it seems that Photo/Color works
best. Sometimes it seems that 600dpi works best.
My goal is to scan/copy into a graphic file what the original
document looks like with minimal loss in detail. Your experience will
be most helpful.
The size of the resulting file is not a limiting consideration
anymore with large and fairly cheap hard drives.
Thank you in advance,
Arnold
