Can't retain adjustments to scanned documents



In PhotoShop CS2.
I scan documents (forms, floorplans, etc.) from Import in CS2.
Doesn't matter whether I scan as "Color" or "Black & White"
or whether they import as RGB, Bitmap, Grayscale, or Index.

If I try to use any of the adjustment tools to fix Contrast or Levels or Curves, etc. it appears the way I want it until I click OK in the tool and then the image reverts back to the original as it was scanned.
Incredibly frustrating and have tried numerous fixes to no avail.
Tried making another layer and setting to Multiply.
But when Flattened it doesn't take again.

Does anyone have any idea what I've missed or how to fix?

Just a thought and what do I know, really, but have you saved the document to your pc first?? It may make a difference

Mood: "coo coo" - a strictly medical term, used to describe a patient that has delved into a realm of insanity...

hi u two, and welcome to the cafe! Dave, have u tried scanning the image using some other tool, like VueScan? I do a lot of scans too, but have never used PS for that... but maybe I am misunderstanding u... do u mean that CS2 has Import / Scan feature? CS5 extended does not! anyway, get back to us:)
cheers,
coocoo
