Buckles et al,
Check to see if you have a "de screening" feature in your scanning software. This will help to minimize the "moire" pattern (mottled effect) you are getting in your scans of images that have already been "printed" or "published" and thus "screened" to a specific number of "dots per inch."
It won't eliminate it entirely.... but it will help.
It's a "physics of light" thing.... scanning plaid material can be a bear sometimes too.... even from an orignial.
If you are using a "Twain driver" in Photoshop to access your scanner, there should be a check box toward the bottom under "advanced" settings or options. Be sure to turn it back off when scanning a "continuous tone" image... or a regular photo or slide. You could leave the "de-screening" setting on.... but there will be a subtle degradation in print quality if you wanted to scan the image specifically to go to press for an "ink on paper" publication.
Let me know if this "unsolicited" info is helpful.
Blessings,

Hey Ole Whitey,
I understand what you meant in your comment to scan #10778, about "straining the brain". Right now I'm feeling a little queasy, and I need to lay down.

P.S. Jeff, no need to apologize for "unsolicited" info. We do it all the time.
