    Question for scanning cards

    It's becoming more and more obvious I need to get a photobucket up. I have a nice digital camera and have tried to take some pics but sometimes they come back a little fuzzy and unclear (especially with shiny cards such as refractors).

    My room mate has a scanner, and I'm sure he'd let me use it. U just put the cards on the scanner and scan them? as simple as that?

    im sure some may consider this to be an idiotic question but I'm not to tech savy. I can check e-mail, facebook, and type on away messages. thats about as far as my computer skills go.
    lol thanks, gary.

    its pretty easy, just scan and then you have to resize them so they arent huge. Im sure his scanner came with some sort of photo editing software that you can use to resize.
    I just got a new scanner/printer for $40 at WalMart, pretty good deal IMO

    Scanning is far better than a camera. Just scan at a web resolution (150 or 300) and crop so you only have the card. I did this with an Epson scanner and no adjustments to the scans were necessary.
