Ensure the scanner is connected to the computer.

Launch the software for your scanner.

Page 3: 1. Using a scanner  to digitise images

If your software has similar functions, select the Scan option.

Page 4: 1. Using a scanner  to digitise images

Select from Color, Black and White or Grayscale, depending on what your are scanning.

Select 300 dpi (dots per inch) as your resolution.

Page 5: 1. Using a scanner  to digitise images

Scan of handwriting with pencil at 300 dpi.

Note size of file (227 kb) and size of image (2464x1748 pixels) – too large for WebBoard.

Page 6: 1. Using a scanner  to digitise images

Same image scanned at 100 dpi. Note smaller file size and image size but also less readable.

Page 7: 1. Using a scanner  to digitise images

A better option is to resize the 300 dpi scan to 800 x 600 pixels. File size: 34kb, image size: 800 x 400.

This results in a small file size, small image size but a more legible image on WebBoard.

Page 8: 1. Using a scanner  to digitise images

The larger file may not fit on the screen when uploaded to WebBoard

Resizing your image

• Resizing is very important• General image size setting in most cameras is

approx. 1mb in size – good for printing but not good for emailing or uploading to WeBoard

• Large images mean large file sizes• Slow to upload• Slow to download• May not fit on the screen for complete viewing

Page 16: 1. Using a scanner  to digitise images

Hints for good images

• Stand square on• Place work on floor or wall• Try with and without flash• Place information card next to work• Do not photograph towards window as subject

will end up very dark• Take photos from different angles• Avoid background clutter• Always save your work• Edit from a copy not the original

Software to manipulate images

• IrfanView software (PC only) is FREE!

• You can view images as individual images or a slideshow

• You can resize images

• You can use IrfanView to ‘acquire’ scans of images

• The URL for IrfanView is:

• http://www.irfanview.com/

Image here is only 21% of the total size

Current image size is:Width: 1944Height: 2592

File size: 1829kb

Page 23: 1. Using a scanner  to digitise images

Resize to a pixel size in which the largest size is no bigger than approx. 750 pixels.

The ratio of the image is maintained.

File size: 115kb
