tips:

  • Be patient. Don't give up when trying a computer command unless you've already tried it 2 or 3 times.

  • Wait until our computers have finished a command, before sending another command/mouse-click.

  • JPEG files are most commonly used on the Web. Consider saving your files as JPEGs.

  • Don't worry too much about having a high resolution. 72 dots per inch (dpi/ppi) is all that is necessary for displaying pictures on a screen. 300 dpi is OK if you would like to print the files.

  • If you want your scanned image to fit on most monitors, keep in mind that many people have a monitor size of 800 x 600 pixels. You may want to keep your images smaller than this.
