So I guess I'll use Austin's method, since there is less processing involved and you get to actual printing faster. I applaud that you actually tried both and reached your own conclusions. Worth more than any amount of argument and theory :) Do you actually get the print finished quicker

The only dimensions that matter are the number of pixels. The dpi and hence the "physical dimensions" are utterly meaningless. That's erroneous to say they are 'utterly meaningless'. They CLEARLY are utterly meaningFUL to the printer driver, and, along with the xy number of pixels,

I've been confused by this for the last two years using the HP PhotoSmart Scanner, and now my SS4000 software allows the same thing. What I would like to see is a procedure to do the following (for example): I scan at 4000 DPI in a crop ratio 11:14. Then on A3 size paper I want to print

What stumped me was when I scanned that same slide at 2650 dpi and attempted to make a 5 x 7 size image suitable for printing. You may well be attempting to scan at 5x7" @ 2650ppi, ie (5*2650) x (7*2650) = 13250x18550, which will cause lots of interpolation. 256Mb would

This does not involve any sampling of the bits across the scan to create a smaller image (that is interpolation). That's actually called 'decimation', when you 'remove' data...interpolation is when you 'add' dataother than that 'point of order', what you said was right on.

I'm still not getting this thread. Why is resizing in PhotoShop not interpolating? It still has to use bilinear resampling, doesn't it, which is a form of interpolation. Resizing is crude, better to resample using bicubic interpolation, tho PS calls that resizing too. So it *is*
