JCO, Amen to that. It is quite common for me to pick an image for the PUG and then reject it once it is sized down - too much loss of detail. Perhaps we could suggest 2 sizes, 1 for slow connections and 1 for fast connections. We would each submit our current size and 1 more at a larger size.

Nice scans, Shel. But as you point out, the scanner's resolution isn't a factor when you're resizing for the web. Everything on the web is 72ppi. Of course, the 4000 ppi will print far better at 11 x14 than the 1000 ppi, and it will look a bit better than the 2800 ppi scan. I scan most of my
