Do not select enhancements such as color correction, contrast, brightness etc.

Only the image should be scanned, not the blank space around it.
Click the scan button. When the scanner stops inspect the scan results and save
the image as a jpeg file with the "highest quality" setting under "image options".
If your scanner lacks any or all of the above settings scan at "highest quality".
