First, use the axe to cut \"pencilhand 7.5\" and \"papertree 4.6\" into small peices.
Photoshop = Perfection.
? Depending on your setup you should be able to scan straight from Photoshop, which is fine for this type of work.
? When scanning you can go to \"File\" and scroll down to \"Import\" and pick your scanning gear from there. It \'should\' be at the bottom of the pop out window. If not just scan to the desktop or your scans folder. If you can scan in at 72dpi, all the better.
? Once document is in Photoshop got to \"Image\" and scroll down to \"Image size\". Turn off \"Resample Image\" (this may change the original document dimensions) and change your resolution to 72. Keep an eye on the dimensions of your file, change it (manually) to approx A4/US Letter (297hx210w, that seems to be the sheet size you are drawing on). The \"Resample Image\" process can differ, I think, it \'remembers\' how the last document was resized, just keep an eye on it.
? Then, \"Save as\" jpeg, turn on \"Preview\" in the window. You can probably go down to about 2-4 in the image quality slider without the image deteriorating too much. At the bottom of the window there is a inner window showing the new size of the file. 100-120 is what you should be aiming for. It will show a lower value than what the file will actually end up being saved at, approx 15-30k more.
Thats pretty much it.
Hope that is helpful my fellow Guild Member
