I avoid Photoshop because it has a habit of thinking it owns all the ports on the
computer and won't let anything else onto the USB ports (at least the starter edition
does and I'm not willing to pay for the full thing). I've installed it twice and
removed it twice for that reason.
I suppose if Microsoft makes virtualization available on PCs I can create a couple of
machines on my PC and run Photo shop where it won' bother anything.

Bob, I use Adobe Photoshop. After saving the .tiff file, you can open it in
Adobe, zoom, crop out what you want to save (i.e. a particular death notice)
and, in some cases, enhance or improve the image.

Thanks
I tried a couple of photo programs with no luck.

Here is a bit more information that may help someone read these
newspapers at:
http://www.switzerland.k12.in.us/hs_vevaynewspapers.php
They are a bit complicated to get to. The kids at the Switz Co High
School did this as a project a few years ago. A very
tedious process to scan all of these wonderful newspapers. A big thanks
to them!
If you can get to the Pacers page - then as an example click on 1840.
The next files will be for all of that year with the file names the date
of each issue: 18400104 = 1840 Jan 4th. Click on that and the next files
are 4 pages of that issue with file names beginning with "R". I right
click on a page and SAVE LINK AS and download them to my DOWNLOAD file
or you can make a new file to copy them to.
I download a month or so at a time then read them later. It helps to
have a viewer of some kind as these are graphic files. Any photo program
works with varying degrees of print size adjustability.
I use a free photo program Irfanview at
http://www.irfanview.com/ as I
can easily adjust the page/print size and and also highlight and cut
clippings and paste them in Word. Each of my WORD files are named with
the date of the issue extracted.
The PAINT program that comes with most computers brings up a very
readable page but not adjustable.
Most of what I have clipped pertains to the Civil War and the 3rd IN
Cav. but I have clipped many marriages, births and deaths also.
