| 119550 | 2003-02-09 06:00:00 | I have a windows xp home edition with a 56k modem,I can scan 3 photos in my canon scanner and when I preview them it is quite quick. When I then try to save them this is where things really slow down. I am trying to save them to `my pictures` so I can email them sometime in the future. Please help---I am very new to these things --please be patient with me!!! |

| 119553 | 2003-02-09 08:18:00 | Welcome to the forum! Probably what is happening is that you are scanning at too high a resolution and producing very large image files. Some of the bundled software that comes with scanners can be difficult to set and their defaults produce these big files which take an enormous amount of memory to process and things get very slow. You want to scan at 75dpi, and save the files with a .jpg extension, that way photos will be about 50KB instead of 1MB or more, and they will email better. Have a look at this site for lots of useful information on scanning: http://www.scantips.com/ |
