scan them at 288ppi and saved as .psd or .tif files.excepting line work and graphics, scanning should be in RGB mode, (24bit + black) even though the image is b&w. scanning resolution is determined by output use. in this instance the requirement is only for display on the web, but other uses have a way of evolving. a rule of thumb is 4x input resolution, which in this case 72 x 4 = 288ppi. which would give you some wiggle room to retouch or print. then 'save for web' in photoshop. best...jf

Harry, Sorry to be long getting back to you, I had a graduation party to attend. I did fine with the 16 bit grayscale, seems not as harsh as the black & white. My yearbook IS black & white so if yours is in color then I would think 24 bit would be adequate. As far as on the web, I don't know what looks best, someone else will need to suggest. John
