Jo@Carterworks: Why not all scanned images are created equal
http://jo-carterworks.blogspot.com/2015/02/why-not-all-scanned-images-are-created.html
Detailing my photographic restoration journeys. Friday, February 20, 2015. Why not all scanned images are created equal. Recently I was reading the magazine section of a newspaper and was surprised by the poor quality of some of the images in an article I was reading. The images were blurred in parts and had lost resolution and information, I suspect due to the fact that they were never scanned properly in the first place, that is, the resolution they were scanned at was not sufficient for publication.
