I did some tests and I need confirmation either by your tests or the available technical knowledge

1. TIFF seems superior to BMP (optimum filetype?)
2. 300dpi seems superior to 450dpi (which is the optimum dpi, really? sure it depends on the letter size, but it's over all not that different in most books)
3. brightness set at 5 and contrast set at 5 increased dramaticaly OCR success, from 35/3,500 to 15/3,500, but setting them to 10 each, decreases the success (which are the optimum? and I really don't need to scan photos, I only need best OCR success)
4. optimum gamma correction anyone?

also, scanning in a dark room or a light room would be better?
last, how do I prevent previewing before I open settings?

thanks
