    So I've scanned some pages of sketching for an assignment that's due tomorrow but when I open the folder most of the images are blank?! If anyone has any help I'd really appreciate it as I'm in a very sticky situation! Thanks

    This might sound really stupid, but are you scanning them the right way up?
    I.e. are you scanning the side of the paper with the sketch on it and not the blank back?

    Yeah I am, the thumbnail is okay for 2 or 3 of them and when I click into the picture it shows up okay, but then when I exited it it went blank

    What software are you using to scan? Assuming you are using Windows do a search of the start menu for "Windows fax & Scan" or if on windows 8 or 10 look for the Scan app (blue icon)

    You sure you're not seeing a small portion of the image (a white section of paper)
    Tried zooming out / fitting image to window?

    By the way, I have no access to the scanner now. Also I have opened the file on a different laptop and about half the images worked there. If that's any help to anyone!

    Sounds like you could of scanned it wrong or the images are the wrong format.As some one said above if you have a camera phone take good picture and send to your dropbox and download image to your computer as jpeg r gif format then upload to your college website other then that the info you have gave isnt great,hope i helped.
