Directions
for scanning and Editing an Image from the Adobe Photoshop Program.
We are going to use the .jpg format
when saving our scanned images and digital camera images. The .jpg will allow the
file to be compressed enough to fit on a single 3 ½ high-density floppy disk. (If your
scanner is connected to the computer that you are working on, then you can save in the TIF
format. This format can be used in printing programs on any platform, and saves the
information exactly as it is scanned. The drawback is it creates a very large file, but
you can save it into your My Documents and keep it there instead of on a disk.)
