Scanning elder pictures?

I want to scan antediluvian black and white photos. I have a visioneer 4400 scanner. After I scan them I want to be capable of burn them to CD so I can steal them to like a Wal-Mart or Walgreens and print them since my printers other seems to print crappy. After I scan them and after have to export them, a box other pops up that says JPEG/Flash Pix compression Quality and it have a slider from low to high( 0-100), wghat does this mean? and what would I set it on...Thanks

Answer:
the point determines the quality of the photo that the scan will reproduce.
Since you want to know how to reprint the photo, you want it set high.
If its set to low, the picture may come out fuzzy (pixelated) when they print it.
However, if you set it too illustrious, the file size may be too big for a disc. (this adjectives depends on your scanner software settings, and you may have to try few times to grasp the best size setting)

something to keep within mind, it's easier to resize a large picture into a smaller one while keeping some of the photo details.

For best printing results use the extreme quality setting you can.
The Compression Quality is the Quality of the photo itself.. how sharp do you want the photo to be?? The lower on the go up you choose the smaller the file, the smaller amount the pixels and the more grainy.. BUT at the glorious end it can also look fuzzy... your best bet is to tkae one photo.... next save it below different names sev times.. try a setting of 50..later 75 then 100 and later go and brand name a test print at wallgreens... it will single cost you 29 cents a photo and then you can see which setting you approaching the best.. personally I hang on to it around 75-85% for the older photos and 95-100% for todays photos.

Good Luck!
The superior the setting the better the resolution. High resolution would be needed if you are planning to make big prints (8x10 or larger). The only problem near this is the higher the resolution the bigger the wallet is. As long as you don't have abundantly of photos, storage on a CD beside the high resolution should be fine.
