Sylvia:

The important thing is to scan as grayscale not line and do the conversion
in PhotoShop.  You can always Revert to Saved or Undo.  The book describes
a process for conversion from grayscale to line that works very well, it is
fast.  I have seen that process described in this space as well, but not
very recently.

How is it we access our archives??
