When using the scanner, make sure to find the Histogram feature in the scanner software. With this set correctly, you will greatly improve the distribution of tone of your final digital end product. Proper settings means more detail will be visible because you are adjusting for a unevenly distributed tonal range resulting in more variations of gray.

• If you are scanning a magazine or other half toned image use the Descreen or Remove Moire setting. This setting probably can be found under 'other settings' or 'advanced options' in your scanner software.
• Reset the Histogram to its default settings
• Do a preview scan (this gives the Histogram its information for your calibration)
• Set the Histogram: Put the white and black triangles at the outer edges of the Histogram graph
  -You are calling the brightest pixel in your image 'white' and the darkest 'black'
• You can also use the gray triangle to redistribute grays
• Scan
• Use Unsharpen Mask in Photoshop to selectively sharpen the image

If your scanning package does not include a Descreen or Remove Moire feature:

1. Scan at a high resolution (DPI).
2. Use your photo program to blur the scan just enough to get rid of the moiré pattern.
3. Resample or resize the scan to the size you want.
4 Refocus the scan by using your photo program's UnSharp Mask or Sharpen or Focus.

So for example:

-Scan at 300 DPI
-Blur
-Resampled to same size as 75 DPI scan
-Refocused using sharpen
