[Ham-Computers] Re How Do You Scan?

[Duane B. Fischer, W8DBF]

Hello All, 			
	
I have been told several different ways of scanning a document that contains
color photos that form the top and bottom borders with text between them. 		
	
There are three headings, in various fonts and in different colors.	
	
I am scanning it at the default resolution of 150 PI, in color, to an image
file. This results in a .bmp file. I then save it as a .jpg with 10%
compression.  		
	
The results vary, none are acceptable. (from missing colr to missing text to
being off center to having the bottom edge missing.)  What is the 'correct'
method to scan a document such as I have described above?	
	
Thank you.
