[QUOTE="mac57, post: 645219, member: 17052"] It depends on what you are planning to do with the results when you are done. I scan a lot of pictures, and at fairly high resolutions. I keep the original scan, large as it is, as a sort of "digital negative". Then I process the file through Photoshop to reduce its size and enhance it as needed. I tend to save most of my finished scans at 1400x1050, a comfortable size for viewing on my PC and Mac monitors. Those that I want to print present no issues - I can go back to the original scan "negative" and print from there, thus getting all the resolution I need for whatever size print I want. That is what I do... [/QUOTE]
