I am using Photoshop 6.0. When I take the black and white scanned image, and return it to "Photoshop", the result is a that there are horizontal lines through the entire photo (but there was no problem in the scanned view) – (these photos are very old – 50-60 years). I did increase the resolution to 600 DPI, and that helped somewhat. Any suggestions?

Sounds like it might be a scanner fault. Certainly if the lines are always running in the same direction regardless of the print’s orientation.

Try rotating the image 90 degrees on the scanner bed, rescan…also try scanning in a different area of the scanner.
