I have a scanning resolution question.
Situation is this. I am scanning a 4 X 6.5" section of a 5X7" color
negative with the Epson 2450 flatbed scanner, which has optical
resolution of 2400 dpi, using SilverFast scanning software as a
plug-in to PhotoShop. The eventual purpose of the scans is to make
color prints approximately 13X19" in size, or to make negatives for
alternative printing. I understand that a maximum resolution of a
little over 300 dpi at the printing size is needed for either purpose.
My question is this. What are the pros and cons of of the two
following scenarios: 1) scanning at 100% of the 4 X 6.5" negative
size at the maximum optical resolution of 2450 dpi, re-sizing later
in PhotoShop, or 2) scanning at the desired printing size of 13X19"
300dpi?
