Re: How to crop a photo in Paint

WinXP contains basic drivers for many
machines but there's a good chance that
the HP driver at the following link would
be more functional.

Actually, there's a diagnostic tool you can
run that may help you determine if you require
an update.

HP Officejet k60 All-in-One

Check the version number of the driver
you are currently using and I suspect it
will be different from the one on the HP site.
Version: 3.10 (A.14.05.09)

Yves describes how most scanners work, and thats the way this one works on
Me
And Win 2000. the wizard and the process are exactly the same on both of
those OS. But the XP Pro wizard is a totally different long 7 Window
process
that don't give me a preview, rotate, drag or crop option.

A 4 x 6" photo downloads 3.9 x 8.5" And shows to be 591 x 1275 Pixels. so
he
white ears are being seen as part of the photos.

My scanner is part of my HP Office Jet K60 all in one. Both my old
programs
required me to install it from a disk but the XP Installation found the
hardware and installed everything itself. The printer, copier and fax all
work just fine.

I am wondering if there is a way to eliminate the XP Wizards and what
would
happen if I attempted to install this hardware from the original Office
Jet
installation disk? If that is not a proper question for this Newsgroup,
let
me know and I will follow up on that line of thought elswhere.

I do appreciate all of your help and suggestions, and apologize for making
such a long post.

What is your scanner model.
Maybe we can dig something.
But all the scanners I have used work exactly like John explained. You
click
on the Preview button and the scanning begins, then you get a crop tool
to
select exactly the area you want to keep and you click on the Scan button
and now you get the final product.
