Hi Neil
Thank you for taking the time to explain all about scanning as .tiff
rather than .jpg. I learned a lot from what you wrote and have kept
your email for future reference.
As it turned out Ronni was able, as she so often is, to pin point the
problem. Familiar with the Epson scanner
Hi Laura,
Re ICC profiles, Wikipedia says:
In color management, an ICC profile is a set of data that characterizes a
color input or output device, or a color space, according to standards
promulgated by the International Color Consortium (ICC). Profiles describe the
color attributes of a
Hi Laura,
Not sure if this will help but here goes.
You probably know that jpg files are compressed (to varying degrees
depending on the quality chosen) the trouble with editing these files is
that every time you change and save them they get re-compressed and each
time you lose a bit of quality

settings I gave you before and they DON'T work in iPhoto '09.
I'm sure I used those settings before in iPhoto '08 ...
These settings do work in iPhoto '09:
Home Mode: Document Type - Photograph

OK Laura,
We can use my original Instructions in Full Auto Mode (which is much
easier than Home Mode and good quality).

HI Ronni and Neil
I am using iPhoto8. The only items not checked in your list were Dust
Removal, Colour Restoration and Auto Photo restoration. Everything
else was as you suggested. The scanned result was the same, no image
in iPhoto.
Neil, I've now just scanned one photo as .tif which
Hi Ronni

So far I have scanned 12 of a number of old BW photos to use in a
Birthday Book project.
As recommended recently by Susan, I am using Snapfish to upload my
photos before creating the book. It seems ideal for my purpose but
