7.      Now choose SCAN. The picture will be scanned into Photoshop.

 

8.      If it is not at 100%, (on the title bar of the picture) you can view it as 100% of the size by going to VIEW, ACTUAL PIXELS.

 

9.      Depending on the picture size, the file size will be pretty large. You will want to RESIZE that by going to IMAGE, IMAGE SIZE.

 

10.  Set it to PERCENT instead of pixels and try 50% at first.

 

 

11.  Now you can crop the photo if you would like.

12.  To CROP, on the toolbar to the left, choose the SELECTION TOOL which is the first tool in the upper left (a dotted square is the picture).

13.  In the photo, select and drag the cursor to outline what you want to crop.

 

 

14.  Click on IMAGE, CROP and you will see the results.
