Actually, you'll most likely end up with 9600x9600 pixel image in the program, with the image simply stretched in the dimension that was scanned with lower resolution. Also, most consumer scanners are limited to 1200DPI (some even just 600DPI) optically, and anything more is often simply interpolated by the scanner driver. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ >
