Jean,
Yes, I scanned them in 600 dpi. and you are correct too 72dpi is the screen
resolution. Most of the time the pictures I received are in poor quality. Also,
some of the pictures are really small... so I just scan them all in 600 dpi and
reduce the screen size. The reduced image quality looks better because you
squeeze (interpolate) pixels together and produce a better result. I resized
them in Photoshop.
Thanks

Taky,
Wow, you scan at 600 dpi? I've only been scanning in at 150 because I
thought it only had to be about 72 if it's for viewing on the screen. (You
can see I'm not too good at this.) Doesn't scanning at 600 dpi make huge
files? I guess the reason I kept it low was because I tried scanning at the
150 as usual, then did the same photo at 300 dpi, and didn't see any
difference. I'll have to try it again and see what I get.
Thanks,
Jean Chang

I always scan pictures in 600dpi and scale down to 720x540. Pictures look
better after scaling down from scanning.. or at least I believe it.
thanks

Subject: [AP] Scanning for photo montage
Hi everyone,
I have about 500 6*4 35mm photos which I want to scan and make into
a montage.
I have adobe premier 6, and wish to burn for widescreen pal tv
playback.
My question is this - Am I right in thinking that I don't need to
scan above 720*500 (or whatever the exact pal widescreen resolution
is)? Or do I need to scan at much higher resolutions and then
resize? Has anyone got any suggestions as to which format to scan
into? jpg? I have a dual layer burner, but 500 is quite a lot of
photos and ideally I want to get them all on one disc and still have
reasonably large photo durations. Am I missing something major
here? I dont mind paying out a couple of hundred GBP to buy a new
scanner (but preferably one with a photo feeder :) Any tips?
Thanks!!!
