I can't find the settings to do a scan @ 100% actual size

Postby atomage » Thu Feb 09, 2012 12:53 am

This is sort of a lame question, but alas I cannot find an answer:

I need a scan at 100% size (actual size) @ 300 dpi and can't seem to find the correct settings to get it.

I just get super large jpeg files, which I have to resize when I place in Indesign.

I am using Silverfast SE 8.0.1r4 through a Epson Perfection 4870 photo.

Thanks if any of y'all can help.

That is simple. Just drag the scan frame around the desired image, in "scan dimensions" panel move the resolution slider to 300 and leave all other parameters untouched.

And scan your image!
