OK,

Thanks for all the handy tips.

The re-size ended up being about 4-5mb per pic, which is still not enormous,
but I have been told often "don't do it, you fool" , that I thought I'd ask.

I did consider dumping the resolution to 340dpi or something, but again a
fellow listee advised that it is always best to print at a dpi in direct
ratio with the printers max dpi setting ie. my 1160 is 1440, so printing at
720, 360, 180 dpi etc generates optimal performance from the machine.

Anyway, the results are fantastic and it is mostly down to a cracking
profile for my printer from Thomas H and Neil B from this very list.  A big
hand...all those of you floundering about with un-profiled printers...you
have been warned!

Oh and respect too to William C for Vuescan tips. The scans I am getting out
of my Nikon are great...

Love yah!

Andy
