Answer

(a)

  1. Loretta should use a colour scanner to store a photograph as a computer file by following the given steps:
    1. She should place the photograph on the scanner bed and use the scanning software on the computer to initiate the scanning process.
    2. Choose the desired format and resolution for the scan.
    3. Save the scanned photograph to a specific folder on the computer's hard drive.
  2. To load the stored photograph into one of the blank boxes on the leaflet, Loretta can use desktop publishing software in the following manner:
    1. Open the software and create a new project or open the existing leaflet design.
    2. Locate the blank box where the photograph should be inserted.
    3. Use the software's "insert image" or "import image" function to browse and select the previously scanned photograph.
    4. Resize and position the photograph within the box as needed.

(b) Two features of the printer which would be needed to produce the leaflet are:

  1. High-resolution printing — A high-resolution printer of minimum 300 DPI (dots per inch) is essential to produce a proof colour copy with sharp images and text.
  2. Color accuracy and calibration — To ensure the printed leaflet's colours match the digital design, Loretta needs a printer with good color accuracy and calibration.
