One of the greatest tools, I have found for viewing rr. photos' is Photo- Shop. I don't care how bad the photo is you can increase the pixe's. The resesults will blow you away, exe. the book (out of print) The Iron House at War,by James E. Valie, page 17. If you have the program or access to one scan and increase the pixe's buy at lest 6500 or more. The resulting image will astound you. Happy hunting. Gary mc Cabe.

Macchoo,
What did you mean by increasing pixe's to 6500 or more? When you want to increase the resolution of a scanned image, you increase the dpi. If you were to scan an image at 6500 dpi, you would have an incredibly huge file that would probably crash most typical home computers. Additionally, when you scan an image from a book, you would scan in what is called "descreening" mode. This will help to reduce/eliminate what is called moiré (cross hatch effect produced when scanning a magazine, book, or other printed media). Try scanning at 600 dpi if you want to enlarge a portion of an image from a book so you can zoom on it.

Sorry about that, after scanning the image, open Photo-Shop, that increase the pix, do not save it. The file will be to large. It's great for decale placement and sizing. Try it, if you have 40g or more in your hard drive.
