Sorry, but that scan hurt my eyes. And I'm not the only one, there was already a
comment on there that said: I have always
wanted to see this scan in a larger version than mine, but this one looks
resized... or maybe it`s not well scanned...
It was so bad that someone thought it was resized! Thankfully we can tell the
difference, and see it wasn't resized
& tehrefore no warnings
But 'filtering' & 'size' aside, the quality is just plain nasty. The colours
and the lines don't seem to match up. There's a massive grainy fuzz running
through every inch of the image, destroying the colour, and all of the lines are
really hazy... In general it was a bad quality scan.
I'm guessing that a lot of the problem is the image itself. It sounds like it's
post card sized, which are okay but never great. Certainly don't even bother
with anything smaller than a post-card in size as the print spots become far too
large and the image will be lost.
As for that Bleach one in particular... it's hard to tell really. I'm guessing
that the print quality of the image is just nasty & that your printer is
picking it up & magnifying it.
Scanning in general? Some people scan on 300 dpi or more. I tend to clean every
scan up in Photoshop before hand.
Just re-assess the quality of the image you're scanning. Sometimes you just have
to let it go... I've had to recently so I know how disappointing it can be.

I scanned it at 250 dpi, and did no filtering of any kind.
I got the basic image size/quality notice from the botchii.

Wow, and I just got a new scanner too. Well, the source picture was only about 6x4 inches. Any advice on scan settings?
