I am scanning a color image with a lot of white background. Once scanned the image appears on the screen and printed out with a soft grey shadow around the outside edge of the image. The paper is slightly larger than the glass of the scanner bed and thinking that I was getting ambient light perhaps, I covered the scanner with a navy blue towel with no improvement in the image. I also lowered the scanning resolution from 400 to 300. I am thinking the space between the glass and the edge of the paper where it overlaps the scanner bed, which is maybe 1/16th of an inch, is creating the shadow. I also lightly pushed down on the scanner lid with no success. I adjusted the grey balance but it threw the color off on the whole image.
I am scanning on an Epson Perfection 1650, Mac OS 9, Photoshop 6.0.
