CHAPTER 6 GETTING YOUR PIX ONSCREEN 75- In the scanner software, set the color space: Grayscale, RGB, or CMYK, the bit
depth (if necessary), and the sampling rate. Set Sampling Rate to 72 or 96 for
the Web, and 150–300 for prints. For film scans, indicate whether the image
is a negative or positive (consult the scanner instructions). - Click Scan, then wait a few seconds. The wait depends on how many samples
you chose. Higher sampling rates, such as 300–1200 samples per inch (ppi),
take much longer than 72 samples per inch.
