How to Prepare a Scanned Image for Print

Have you ever scanned in an image you wanted to reproduce only to find that the scan does not look as good as you had hoped?  In this tutorial I’ll show you the process I used to scan in an image that was in an old calendar, then retouch and repair the image before sending it off to be printed.  One of the challenges with this image in particular was that after I scanned it in and brought it into Adobe Photoshop, I was able to see the small colored dots of ink that were used to print the image.  I’ll show you how I was able to remove the ink dots using smart filters in Photoshop 2014.  After adjusting the image in Photoshop, I will show you the final printed result.
