Has the quality of photos uploaded via the Lexmark MX622 deteriorated?

They don't seem as crisp and clear as before.

And they are definitely darker than the originals.

    probably some change in setting on your scanner and not with FamilySearch.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    [ And, one who has worked in "Family History Centres" of the Church, for a number of Years ... ]

    FYI

    As an aside ...

    You are so lucky, that the "Lexmark" Printer, at you local "Family History Centre", even 'Scans' to 'FamilySearch'.

    The "Lexmark" Printer, at you local "Family History Centre", in our 'neck of the woods' (ie. NOT "North America"), has NOT been able to 'Scans' to 'FamilySearch', for years.

    And, both, ("Family History Centre") "Support"; and, the "Technicians", have NOT been able to get it to do so.

    just consider yourselves lucky, that the "Lexmark" Printer, at you local "Family History Centre", even 'Scans' to 'FamilySearch' - that is a blessing.

    Im not familiar with that scanner

    but virtually any scanner has settings to control resolution, color, and fiel format

    and virtually any scanner has high resolution scanning.

    play with the scanning parameters and make sure your DPI is at least 300 dpi

    someone probably just adjusted the setting to a lower resolution and it just needs to be set back.
