[LM_NET] TECH: Scanning to make enlargements

[Gordon Walter <gordonwalter@MCHSI.COM>]

I have inherited a batch of tiny (2x2) b&w historical family shots that 
I would like to scan so that they will be printable in good quality at, 
say, 8x10 size.
I scanned the same picture twice.
To get the two results, I changed the target size from "Original" for 
the first picture to "8x10" for the second.
Is this the best way to make the printing quality of the larger picture 
the same as for the smaller one?  If not, how should it be done?
BTW, the actual result of the "original" target size of the first 
picture looks about twice the size of the real original size.......
