Video cards

A video card that is sufficient for text may not be good enough

for displaying graphic images, especially in color. If all your

scanned images look coarse on your monitor, you may want to

upgrade your video card.

Monitors

The resolution of your monitor, of course, also affects the

quality of the image you see. Consider a high resolution

monitor if you do precise color work, but first be sure you have

the right video card.

File compression software

Many different programs are available to make image files

smaller for storage or transmission. For example, they can

enable you to store a 3MB image file on a floppy disk. Some

compression software can compress images and restore them

with no loss of data or quality; others compress images more,

but the restored file is not exactly the same as the original. The

difference between the original and restored files is, however,

not always noticeable.
