Correct. My apologies -- I always assume that everyone scans at the
highest purely mechanical resolution available. Natural bias on my part.
I seem to be the only one who does not scan a 25mb file for each teeny 400
x 600 pixel web photo. So i feel obliged to defend myself :-)
It may or may not be important to scan at the highest possible res.
Everyone seems to think so except me. OK. But OTOH I would point out the
time penalty involved in doing this. It takes significantly longer to scan
a 4000 x 3000 ppi file than a 1024 x 768 file. It would certainly make an
interesting experiment, anyway...
