….Is there a standard setting that can just put your scanned image onto the screen at a solid 100% ‘image size’ every time, regardless of what your ppi, resolution is set at? (mine might be set too high)…How do I scan a single small section of a large drawing and then crop it and change the image size, without including any surrounding information, such as what the cropped drawing was scanned with (such as other surrounding drawings, paper, scanner bed) Knowing this, i might be able to get a high resolution scan of a small part of a drawing…
Scanning with high ppi (300-600), one section from a drawing could be enlarged with image size adjustments, etc., but here’s the problem… the computer seems to first be in the habit of putting a scanned image into whatever image size it wants to.. it is usually monsterously big (filling up the entire monitor screen pleasingly, but still reading at a 18% or 66% or so, size.) compared with what the computer can manipulate efficiently. Perhaps there is way that someone knows of, to make a scanned image just come out as 200% size on the screen (not necessarily looking that way relative to actual inches/ centimeters of the drawing’s size, but it doesn’t matter) Then… considering the resolution looked sharp at this 200%, 9which it would, because i set it that way) I could just shrink it down to 100% ( or some other comfortable size) Better yet, is there a way to transform file sizes that are scanning too big, into smaller file sizes efficiently ? Why should the computer have to spend time reading these files sizes, just in order to convert to a different in format? ( i use jpegs )
