Scanning Photos Help Sheet
I wrote a tutorial for my dad to help him remember how to use his Canon scanner and how to print the photographs, but as I started writing this I thought maybe others would find this help sheet useful too.
The help guide is based on Paint Shop Pro using a Canon FB636U scanner and an HP Deskjet 930C printer. Most Canon scanners and HP deskject printers work in the same way but I don't know much about other image editing software.

The picture at the bottom of the page was taken using a disposable camera, then scanned in with the Canon scanner (150dpi), cropped and resized a little in Paint Shop Pro. It's only 17Kb in size, so it doesn't take very long to download.
