More spectacular desserts
Sorry for my lack of posts; my dog's been in the hospital (Details at my LJ). Here's two more Dessert Spectaculars, as well as the steps I take when scanning. And, I managed to post this to my personal LJ, instead of here. *Sigh* It's been a long day. But my dog's home now and he'll be fine!
Scanning:
I make the initial scan at 300 dpi, then bring the image in to Photoshop. I crop the image and reduce the dpi to 150; this usually eliminates most of the dot pattern. Then, I do an auto-levels adjustment (If it looks worse, I undo it!) and then save it as a JPG with level 10 compression (high quality).
Nothing super-secret there! The 50% dpi reduction is probably the biggest step to making images look better.
