Scanning for correct output
When you capture photos and film, it is best to create data that is no bigger than the size required for
output.
If the image resolution for a specific output size is 360 dpi, the resolution of the final print is sufficient
also for a short viewing distance. If, however, your scan resolution exceeds this, in general, it will not
improve the quality of the final print. Due to the larger file size, it will however take longer to scan, to
process, and to print.
For setting optimum resolution for the output size, refer to “The relationship between image data
resolution and print size” on page 17.
A
