Hi Clive.
I got my scanner some days ago and I am trying to find out how to "think"
about settings for scanning resolution.
In the example above; Is there an advantage in scanning at l50 dpi (and resize
in PhotoShop) compared to use 72 dpi scanning resolution?

I have tried both ways. Isnt there  loss of "quality" in resizing?
Help me out!!

ciao
