Sandy:
I will always scan @ full resolution. Often, a scanner will not quite give
you the optimum sharpness. So to scan @ full res is wise. Why not crop what
you want in the original scan @ the full resolution. Manipulate it however
in your program (Photoshop I presume). Make a copy of that and then reduce
to whatever dpi you wish for printing. that ought to give you the best
result.
