    Scanning Calculations

    Hi, everyone.!

    I've been wanting to know for a long time how to correctly calculate resolution before scanning. Is there some chart or formuly by which it's done?

    and another thing... When I scan I have 2 controls:

    Resolution and Scaling

    I always scan at 300 ppi and 100% of scaling. I change scaling if I need to enlarge a picture.

    How should I properly use these?

    Thanks

      newbie question on scanning resolution
      by jonrevere
      I recently acquired a scanner and along with it a slew of family photos to scan and preserve. Although I am only scanning them right now I do plan on digitally restoring many of them. Physical sizes of images range from 8x10 to less than 1" square.

      I've noticed that a lot of members...

      by dkf10425
      I have a question about what scan setting instructions do you tell people who email/upload photos to you? Should they scan at 300, 600, or 1200 ppi? I asked someone yesterday to send me a 1200 ppi scan but they emailed me back saying their scanner was only rated at 600 and anything larger it would resample...

      What dpi should I use to scan in old photos? And which file format should I save them in using PS3?
