We've found a couple of ways around the problem of reproducing the images printed on
textured paper.

One is to use a copy stand instead of a scanner - and bring the image into the computer
through either a film scanner if you used a film camera on the copy stand - or via a
digital image created in a digital camera.

The other is to use the Blur command in photo software to compensate for the paper
texture.

My husband has a section on this on his Vintage Virtual Image site at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wflawrence/dig2_2.htm

We figured out how to deal with the textured paper when we had images that didn't look
too bad in the photos - but looked horrible when we scanned them and tried to print
them.
