My blabbering

Oops, I think the last e-mail somehgow got send accidentally, while it was 
not finished yet.

Anyway, let me answer some questions:

1. Which scanner? No scanner in particular; this is just geenral scan info.

2. 200 dpi sufficient for Epson? That's what an expert told me, and just try 
it; you will be surprised.

3. interpolation is? This is dots made up by the scanner, acting as an 
intelligent guesser. E.g., if a scanner says it's 800x1600, the second part 
is interpolated, the extra 800 dots are guessed. Dots are square, so really 
can't have a rectangular dot, being 1 wide and 4 high, or vice versa. There 
ain't no such a thing as "panoramic" scanning!!!

4. Epson printers: Yes, do print at the printer's own highest resoution of 
720x1440 dpi. Your digital file needs only be at 200. However, if it is at 
400, there is no need to resape., unless you want to, but safe the original 
file. Do a "save as".

5. Calculating output sizes at different dpi's is easily accomplished in 
PhotoShop. Go to image size., and turn the resample button ff, and then you 
use the data boxes as a calcuator. When you change the print size, you will 
see the dpi changing as well. When you change the dpi data, the image will 
become either larger or smaller. The higher the dpi the smaler the image, and 
the bigger the image, the smaller the dpi number. 

6. When you resample a photo, use bicubic always!. Use linear for line art 
only.

7. Good luck!
