I think you're doing fine on the scanning. I prefer the "yellowed" look to the bright white but either is fine. I have no trouble reading the newsprint and I enjoy reading it.

What software are you using to edit the pics? Like jp said, use descreen when you scan and a little sharpen before you shrink the pic. I like to throw in a little +brightness and +contrast myself.

It would be nice if there were a place to post mega-jumbo size pics but I can't think of good solution for that at this time. I'm thinking maybe blogspot lets you post larger pics that you link to with a smaller "thumbnail" in your post. Feel like starting a Volcano blog? :)

Look forward to the rest!

I have an HP scanner (part of our printer), and the photo program is Microsoft Picture It! Photo 7.0. So far I've just been using the brightness and contrast adjustments, but after seeing yours and JP's hints, I will try the other things also. As for a Volcano blog, right now I think this is all I can handle, LOL, but I'll keep my mind open to it as we move along.

Stay tuned!! I'm getting ready to upload more!
