Re: NNG - Scanning B&W prints

I have a desk- top, flat-bed scanner, HP G3110,here at home and I use it all the time to scan B&W photographic prints. Many times I will then use a photo editing program to adjust contrast, balance, etc after scanning -- always saving the adjusted image as a new file and retaining the original file of the scan.

Before I retired, I did some scanning at work. The multi=purpose copy machine/printer did not do so well making copies of either photographs or images in documents. These would produce PDFs and I could never find out if it would produce a tif, jpg, etc. of a photo or document.

For large maps and plans the wide-format, engineering printer/scanners did okay as generally PDF was the best end use. I do recall that the newer color scanner/inkjet machine would save in one or more of the photo image formats.

I am sure others will post with their thoughts and recommendations.
