I just have purchased a Minolta Scan Dual IV scanner, and I have some questions about scanning.
The maximum resolution supported is 3200dpi, which seems way too much for scans intented to be put on the web. But I have read somewhere that I should *always* scan at maximum resolution, because a lower resolution scan does not contain as much information as a high resolution scan downsized. Is this true or just a myth? Somebody on the list asked later for scanners which have batch scanning capability (don't recall who was it). This scanner can batch scan a film strip (6 frames). What's this hype around Vuescan? Does it actually performs better than the manufacturer's software? Can you recommend some tutorials/books about postprocessing photos in Photoshop? Thanks, Attila
