How to use Descreen on my Scanner?

[Gavica]

I'm using  a HP C5200 scanner and HP photosmart essentials 2.5

However nowhere in the settings can I find the descreen option

here are my settings, anyone know where it might be?

What other scan types can you select?

[Gavica]

the only 2 options for scanning are Scan Picture and Scan File.

Is there other scanning software that is better that would work with my hp all in one printer?

Phew. I dunno. I just thought that maybe you could choose another scan type (for example "document") and then you would have more options to check (like descreen)....

Your HP software is very good to scan covers with. The "descreen" option is available at the "preview scan" page. At the botton of your first picture you have "show a preview scan" checked (leave that there). Select the rest of your settings. Here's what mine looks like (please don't laugh too hard at my pics, I don't know how to copy what's on the screen. I used a digital camera).



I Leave the (default) Sharpen checked to make up for the descreen which takes a little away. Also check the scan with higher bits depth. When your done click scan and your preview scan page should look like this.



After you move the crop lines to where you want them around your scan, select the last tab on the right.



There's the descreen.

You can make a "shortcut" with all your settings so you don't have to select what you want each time. I used "picture to file".

i see in your picture, that in your Quality vs Speed, you have 2 options, however mine only has the first option, how do you get that second option "scan with optimum color accuracy"

I'm not exactly sure. I downloaded a recommended update for the driver once and there was another option for the full software package (I have an All-in-One), so I downloaded that also. See if there's any updates for your scanner on HP's website.
