Scanning an Image with a Scanner

Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Tony Ramirez from Tampa Bay, Florida and on behalf of Expert Village this is how to setup your scanner, let's begin. So here we are ready to scan. What I done is actually place my photo faced down onto the glass of the scanner. This would be the same for any other scanner that you have of course faced down because that is where the light will actually pick up the image and transfer to your computer. There are two major settings once you have it in there you don't just want to go ahead and click scan because you want to make sure it's actually scanning what you want. What you want to do is hit the preview button. So I'll go ahead and click preview and it will actually warm up the scanner. If your scanner hasn't been used for a little while. It will actually heat up the lamp and get everything ready for its actual scan. The reason why you want to hit preview first as it mentions it, it will show you actually what you're going to scan. Of course make sure you don't have anything else in there or whatever it is. So what this software does it actually auto crops on here to the actual photo, I'm going to say it's the exactly thing I want to do, I don't want to do any other editing at this time. We'll say ok everything is ok I have my resolution set at three hundred of course it's in full color. I'm not going to resize or darken anything else, so my next thing I'm going to hit accept. This accept button on this particular software is actually the scan button, when things are ready go ahead and click accept. You should start hearing the scanner make some noise, some digital zooms and stuff like that scan scan scan and what it's going to do in this actual case. It's going to transfer to photoshop cause that's the software that I used opening it. So once that is done I'll show you what it looks like when scanned. So as you can see here the photo that I scanned open up in Adobe photoshop just like it is here so now from this point on I can actually in photoshop of course edit it, do any other things that I want to do. I have a little bit more control in photoshop than any other software. But usually all scanners will come with its own photo editing software and will be able to do things for you, but that's scanning it."
