I wasn't satisfied with the picture scan as that the color depth wasn't
great, and there were some lines. I just used default settings on the
scanner @ 300dpi. Google's site creator doohickey reformatted my pics from
png's to jpg's, so there may have been a slight loss there too.
Don't know exactly what you need Carl, but hopefully this'll aid in your
decision.
