Linocolor software and topaz want you to measure the original line screen of your preprinted art and then insert that into the software to scan descreens(this makes for long scan times and results are poor). But I have found that scanning with NO sharpening, @200% and twice the normal resolution works very well. After scanning then resize and apply sharpening in PS as per your last article(unsharp masking).

Had the text read, "Two grids comprise Figure 1," then we certainly would have been using comprise incorrectly. As is, however, the usage seems acceptable to me. Can you be more precise about your complaint with the usage?
Thanks for your feedback.

The phrase "Figure 1, which comprises two grids" in paragraph 2 is sloppy. The word comprise cannot be used that way. "Which consists of two grids" would be okay, but NOT "which comprises" Every time I see the word comprise used that way I cringe. It is not hard to technologically aware and English aware.
GREAT JOB!!
Did a GREAT job on the introduction of the subject. I'll apply some of the techniques in some of my other applications. Thanks..
