EQ6 - Scanning Fabrics Part 4

In this last part to my 'Scanning Fabric for EQ6' tutorial, I will show you images of my scanned, cropped, and resized fabrics.  As well, I have prepared block images that show how the fabric swatches look once they are uploaded into EQ6.

EQ6 - Scanning Fabrics Part 1 - Revisited

Last week, I sat down to begin scanning my fabrics using the steps outlined in my 'Scanning Fabrics Part 1' tutorial. The fabric line I chose was 'Crimson & Clover' and since they have relatively small prints with a small pattern repeat I knew my cropped images would be small. Well, when I scanned the fabric at 75 dpi (my scanner's lowest setting), I was unhappy with the visual qualiy of the resulting image. I am not sure why the 75 dpi wasn't working; perhaps, it was due to the lighter fabrics, or the uniformity of the pattern repeat and size, or just an idiosyncrasy of my scanner. I decied to increase the dpi to 100 (the next level available on my scanner) and this worked much better. Howver, with the image open in Paint Shop Pro, I made a discovery which is why I need to make a revision to my Part 1 tutorial.
