I tried just scanning as a photo but the file always comes out too large to upload.
The only solution I've worked out is this
1. Scan the page to produce a PDF
2. Open the PDF on my screen filling it as much as I can and take a screen shot using the sniping tool.
3. Upload the image created by the sniping tool to my approval book.
Does anyone know a less convoluted way? I see images that are larger on screen than what I am able to come up with but don't know how to create them.

What program do you use to make the scans?
I use Adobe Acrobat, make one combined file as a pdf for as many pages as I have prepared and then "save as" jpeg's. The result is a bundle of individual jpg files that can be used for uploading to the site.

I've just been using the program that was installed on my computer with the printer. I'll have to see what other programs I have that will do it.
I just found a website that could convert pdf to jpeg. It seemed to have worked. I now have much better pictures on my approval book.

I would download and install Irfanview (free software that works real nice).
You can scan at probably 200 dpi resolution and get away with it. Or you can scan at a higher resolution, then resize the image to a smaller size, maintaining a nice scan quality, but reducing the file size.
Irfanview can be downloaded at any of the sites here: http://www.irfanview.com/download_sites.htm

Meghan,
Just a couple of guidelines to go by. When scanning single stamps, scan at 300dpi. When scanning covers, scan at 100dpi. These two rules will cover most situations.

There's a more in depth "scanning for beginner's" web site posted on the Links section too.

I wondered what method others were using for the images for their Approval Books.
