HIGH RESOLUTION
High Resolution scans have their place in the industry for specific projects. To determine the best scanning resolution, you need to consider two factors ??? the resolution of the final output device and the type of photo/artwork you are scanning.
Part of the benefit of scanning your old photos, in addition to the added security of backing them up in a digital format, is the ability to create new prints, enlargements and photo products such as photo books. The quality and size of the prints you will be able to reproduce will depend upon both the quality of the original photo and the resolution the photo is scanned at. See the charts below for a guide comparing original print size, resolution and reproduction size. Scanning at a higher DPI will give you more options for reprints and copies, however, high resolution scans, which produce large files that eat up disk space, are difficult to transfer to a service bureau, and take a long time to process at output time.
