RESOLUTION

or paint program, such as Microsoft Picture It!, Microsoft Photo Editor or Adobe PhotoDeluxe, to select and then import only the part of the image you want to use.

noticeable loss of quality.
Reduce the Size of the Image
If you scanned an 8 by 10 inch picture to use in a 4 by 5 inch picture
frame, rescan the image at a smaller scale.
Scan the Image at a Lower Resolution
While many scanners scan at 600 dots per inch (dpi) or higher, you should
scan a color or grayscale image at no more than 300 dpi. An exception to
this is if you are scanning a very small image and you do not want the
image to become distorted, grainy, or jagged when you enlarge it in
