Sorry, this is off topic, but I know that only extremely intelligent
people use Linux so someone will probably know the answers ;-)
Could someone please clarify resolutions. I have a scanner and a
digital camera (and of course a regular camera). Now 300DPI is pretty
self explanatory. My digital camera is something like 1280x1024.
That's fine but lacking a measurement it's meaningless. What is the
equivalent DPI measurement? If that's for a 1" picture it's great but
if it's for and 8x10 it's not so good. Is it standardized and if so
what is the default picture size (which of course would yield the DPI as
well).
Now for the really tough question. What is the approximate resolution
of a standard photograph?
I want this to scan photographs. It seems that 300DPI is a good bet,
any comments? My scanner/scanning program saves in TIF by default.
I'll probably convert to JPG. My JPG converter has a 0-100% scale for
"losiness" (new word I just made up, means the amount of loss ;-) )
I've found that 100% (no loss) is a waste since the file size is about
the same as the source file. Between 80% and 90% is good. I personally
can't see the difference but there is significant file size reduction.
Much below 70% and I can begin to see the loss.
Thanks for any feedback. GGK
