i want a print a text document.
when i scan my document.
it does not look as good as orginal document.
How can i improve my document after i scan so that it will look as good as orginal document.
i am using Photoshop CS3.
I'm trying to scan a picture using a LEXMARK Platinum Pro905 all-in-one printer with PSP X3 (v. 13.2.1.20). Lexmarx drivers are the latest available.
Please note I'm using a French version of PSP so I'll try to translate the titles, menus and messages in English. I'm going in File > Import > From a scanner or a camera (3rd option)
A pop-up windows is opening with settings for scanning. I'm able to modify every option if I want to. If I click on "Preview" (with a document in the scanner), I'm getting a preview of the document. Using the preview, I can select the area of the document I want to scan. So far so good.
When I click on the "Scan" button, the pop-up with the scan setting is disappearing (which is probably normal) but a pop-up error message is displayed right away :
The French says "Une erreur s'est produite lors de la lecture du fichier".
In English, it would probably translate by "An error occurred while reading the file". The only choice I have is to click "Ok".
I also tried with another scanner (HP Scanjet Q4010) with same result. Both (Lexmark + HP) are using an USB connection. In the past (few months ago), I was able to scan a document using this method with my HP scanner and PSP X2.
I take a picture of a document (text printed on a white piece of paper), which I then load in gimp. There, I can rotate, rescale and cut out the document. What I want to do in addition is to whiten the background, so it looks like if I had used a copy-machine to scan the document.

One wide stripe moving right to left exposing the text underneath then moving back, never exposing the whole word at once, just a section. I had thought I could make a black layer over the top of the text, clear away a scection and manually move the layer in IR, but to no avail. Sorry I don't have a visual example of it for you.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI received a TIF image with 5 pages built in to the single image. When I open it in PS CS it does this Pixel Aspect Ratio thing. Which seems to be fine, but I can't figure out how to view the other pages in the TIF. Since Adobe (I think), owns the TIF format as well as PSD, I assume PS has a function to not only SEE and EDIT multi-page TIF files, but also CREATE them.
So Question 1 is, how do I handle multi-page TIF documents? For reading, editing and creating them? A tutorial or help page or another site, whatever is fastest for you guys. I can't find the functions. Or recommend another app to turn 5 TIFs into a SINGLE document would be fine also.
-------------------
Second question is. I have an older scanner that is on it's way out. I have black and white text documents I need to scan and sign and E-mail. Problem is, my scanner WON'T scan in black and white! The page either comes out blank white or as black and white stripes. I CAN scan as a color, or greyscale image.
Now then, let's say I scan this doc as greyscale, as a JPG.
I open the JPG file in PS. Now the page is not B/W to begin with. The whole of the document has an off-white Grey hue to it. I want to make sure it has solid text (no gradients) because the original multi-page TIF is this way. And I want the background to be solid white and text solid black. When it first comes into PS it is greyscale with gradients on the text and a non-white color across the whole image.
How can I convert this to B/W and have good looking black text on white? Plus how do I take these five scans after converting them, and turn them back into a multi-page TIF like the original?
The other thing to note is, that I am amazed about. The original 5page TIF is only 134KB. But even with all my editing I can get as low as a single, ONE page TIF at 80KB. How in the world did they compress so far and still look so nice with so many pages!
I am hoping to edit these docs, convert to b/w and put back in a 5 page TIF, and not be far off from the original file size.

What I have tried to far is messing with the "Mode". Changing to duotone and other stuff in that menu. I've used magic eraser to try to remove the background (but still looks like crap in and around fonts).
I've used the hue/saturation tools but that doesn't leave crisp lettering.
I can accept "some" baddies around the fonts. Seeing as how it is scanned. But one of my attempts produces pretty nasty looking fonts! Like so:
This is 516% zoom. You can see "something" needs to change to make this clearer. And artifacts still show up here and there as black dots around the document. Somehow I got it to be b/w.
what if I scan a article which has both pictures & text? Can I use descreen for only the picture part or do I have to scan the whole article without descreen and afterwards find a way to deal with the moire effect? Or what is the best way to do it?
And then some random Qs:
I'm not anyway professional, I just have some articles I want to scan and make a scrapbook. Is InDesign best tool for creating the digital scrapbook when I also want to print it for some of my friends? Or are there some better tools?
From what I read, did I understand right that 300dpi is enough for my pictures/text scans (like I said I also wanna make a printed version of my scrapbook)?
i have a few scans of documents which are 20-30 years old. Some text on this documents is written on a typewriter. Now im trying to make this text to be more clear in relation to the background.
I tried to to this using Curves and Levels. The text is getting darker as i want it, but also the background changes which is what i dont want, because if i do this on a rectangular selection it is visible. Curves is quite ok, but it still changes the background to much in my opinion. Is there a way only to make the text more black without changing the background much?

In the last 2 days Corel has decided to start changing Artistic Text to Paragraph Text when I copy & paste it across documents, completely changing the font, size & colour of what I am copying.
I've just done a factory reset & it's still doing it.
I don't recall doing anything that would change a setting.
The text I am copy & pasting are disclaimers that are all set on 1 document & I copy & paste them to a proof as needed.
I have a problem moving text around in the document. Its highlighted in the layer box, and when I go to move the text, it un highlights and some other layer is highlighted. I have to move text by using the arrow keys instead of my mouse..can anyone help? I'm making a wallpaper for the show Rock Star..

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a blog on which I need to add type to each and every photos for copyright purposes. trouble is that the post photos are maxed out @ 144 dpi, and thus I use only sizes 6-8 for my fonts.
The reason for the small font size is proportion. I don't want to have giant fonts for small-sized photos. I've attached a sample before rasterization and after illustraintg the use of this fiunction is next-to-useless. I've tried different permutations and combinations font,font style, crisp,smooth, shar, etc, and the results are always the same - bad.

I upgraded to Maverick last fall which caused my PSE11 to slow way down so I recently purchased PSE 12 thinking it would be compatible to Maverick. At this point it is not. Everything works even slower than it did with PSE 11. Is there a patch or an upgrade or a procedure that will improve the work flow speed?
View 3 Replies View Related I'm having a problem performing the most basic task - erasing. This seems crazy that I'm having such a problem with this.
I have opened a pdf document in Gimp 2.8 for Windows. Then I:
- choose 'Tools'
- then, 'Paint Tools'
- then, 'Eraser'
Once I try to start erasing some of the black text on a pure white background, the eraser has a 'checkered' pattern. So instead of erasing in 'white', the tool erases with a checker pattern. See the attached photo.

I've recently started getting into Illustrator and was wondering if there existed a way to set a "document" font that all the text within the Illustrator file will follow? I'm building a generic document that I'd like to customize for clients by using their standard font. Is there a way to do this such that you only set the font in one place? I'd prefer to also font once rather than selecting all the text layers and changing the font for all.
