Occassionally, coming across some of the beautiful images in various astronomy magazines, I am smitten. Must have for my desktop. However, I find that when I scan images from said magazines, there appears styrations all over the final product. No amount of tweeking seems to help. Do these magazines purposefully use paper and colour tones that prevent scanning? It appears so to me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Do you mean Moire patterns - a bit like diffraction patterns?
