Moiré on a Canoscan 8800f

    Finally got around to using this after being given one for my birthday in August.:o

    Great machine, but moiré is very visible, especially on dark clothing. If I untick 'unsharp mask' in the scanning software it lessens it, but softens the photo being scanned considerably. Scanning a a higher resolution that 300dpi makes no difference.

    Anyone any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Freddie.

    Can the 8800 scan negatives ? Probably a better idea than scanning the prints. The prints are printed (probably at 300 DPI) from scans of the negatives already so scanning them AGAIN probably won't really result in stellar quality. Scanning the negatives on the other hand should be a better bet, even if the 8800 as a flatbed isn't really the best in this regard.

    Thanks Darren. Yes, it can do the negatives. However, for the prints concerned, I only have the photographs.:( I've got hundreds of negs to scan in.
