If you were to scan as photo, I believe it only scans around the subjects; making the quality reasonably higher. That was document right?
Unfortunately I did scan as a photo - but it copied the entire bed as I thought that would make it easier to size them.
If I rescan subject only yes, it would be clearer, but sizing them properly would be tricky. I'll give it a shot tonight.
I suspect the compression is actually on the end of the image host. Crop out the white areas in an image editor, and if possible save and upload the image as .png the whole time (png doesn't alter the quality of the image in any way, though this results in a larger file), and you'll get a better result. If cropping is too much hassle, you could upload the image to mediafire like I do for higher resolutions - won't allow you to embed it in posts etc but I do think it lets people preview before downloading. Worst case if it comes out the wrong size I can probably fiddle with it after the fact if you've done png the whole way through, seeing as I'm after good copies of all three of those scans myself anyways.
On an unrelated note, as photobucket has messed with direct linking (the first time you click an image link it goes to the photobucket page rather than the image itself because hey surely people don't want a direct link option that always links directly to the image, right?), I'm probably going to move to imgur in future, it seems better, if somewhat less controllable, though unless they host images at full resolution/size I'll continue uploading stuff to mediafire too. But yeah, been to busy to upload the scans I have lying around/scan stuff I got recently (the big holdup there is ultimate frostic dranzer, because the sheet is metallic and getting them to turn out nicely is a pain in the behind).
