[TheForge] Pictures in Newsletter (was: Digital Cameras)

Mon Jan 21 16:55:12 2002

In order to get the image to photocopy well, you have
to make it very light in the original. I found that by
using the various features of most views to adjust the
gamma and the brightness, if I made it very light (and
you will have to experiment) but I found almost washed
out, it photocopies fairly nicely. Try it out.  Make
sure you set your photocopier on "photo". that helps
also.
