Shoot. I'm realizing that I should've used the color document setting on my scanner because that puts out such a beautiful photo compared to the color photo setting. WTF?
Compare!

w/ the Document setting

w/ the Photo setting
Note: 2nd one is a LOT smaller.. so.. yeaah. lol.
I've added & to the first post in large format and it looks really good. I made it a bit larger than the rest so I had some wiggle room. I dunno if it came out any better after scanning it differently though.
