Episode 19: Scanning Basics

Using an Epson 3170 scanner, we explain the basics of how to use a scanner. We explain how to set the original image type, selecting only a portion of an image to scan, selecting scanning size and dpi, and saving files in different formats and locations. If you have confusion about how to use a scanner or find that scanning seems to take longer than it should or your scanned files are too large, this video is for you.
