Thank you. I'm not to savvy about resolution numbers, so I have a question. When I scan regular sized photos from the 60s and 70s at 300 dpi and then crop out the background from the scanning bed, the file size numbers drop significantly; i.e., 1.2MB to about 700KB. I guess I want to know if you've had problems in losing resolution after cropping out all the scanning bed background? I want to upload these photos to a Shutterfly book and am afraid they will not have enough resolution. Maybe it's apples and oranges; i.e. size vs resolution? - Sue, Davis,CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612731037367610064.post-82150943351516530282011-10-08T23:27:23.281+01:002011-10-08T23:27:23.281+01:00Thanks for your comment, Judy.

They do say on their website that, once they expand abroad, it will most likely be to the UK and Australia first, but they give no timescale. I do hope you can find someone in the US to ship one to you.Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977450933277241692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612731037367610064.post-87560196405229038542011-10-08T22:45:25.513+01:002011-10-08T22:45:25.513+01:00Thanks for the review and especially for including...Thanks for the review and especially for including the examples.

I was pondering on how to scan a pile of large A3 documents, I investigated the purchase of an A3 scanner and they are like gold dust, I also thought about heading to Staples for them to scan and make as files on a CD, but this may well be the answer. What a shame shipping is not outside of the US at the moment, I will see if I can find a away around this.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612731037367610064.post-43961289614103968672011-01-30T02:43:22.050+00:002011-01-30T02:43:22.050+00:00Thanks for your comments.
