You need to adjust your levels (google "level adjust" ["photoshop"/"PSP"/"GIMP"/"Whatever"]) after you scan something.

I'd discommend PSP, because its levels dialogue is retarded, and expects you to eyeball them; it has a histogram and a levels box, but they're in separate windows, and never the twain shall meet,

The reason this is split is so that a) you'll learn to do it yourself, b) so's you can see the difference five seconds in the levels dialogue makes, and c) because I had to do it on a laptop, so the result isn't going to be the best it could be.

Best to do anything related to colour on a CRT, preferably one that's been calibrated. TFTs just don't have good enough darks to be doing colour work.

Levels are curves, if your package is more sophisticated than paint.
