The important point to understand for now is that the
F
INAL
R
ESOLUTION
is
directly related to the scan
P
ITCH
and the
W
IDTH
and
H
EIGHT
measurements.
Final Resolution Units
Macintosh: The units of measure for the
F
INAL
R
ESOLUTION
can be in pixels per
inch, pixels per cm, or pixels per mm. Typically, the inch, cm or mm units of measure
selected will correspond to the
W
IDTH
and
H
EIGHT
units. Selection of the units of mea-
sure for this setting is shown in Figure 11.6a.

Windows: The units of measure for the
F
INAL
R
ESOLUTION
can be in dots per
inch, dots per cm, or dots per mm. Typically, the inch, cm or mm units of measure
selected will correspond to the
W
IDTH
and
H
EIGHT
units. Selection of the units of mea-
sure for this setting is shown in Figure 11.6b.

Scan Pitch
The scan
P
ITCH
is a number that determines the input resolution of a scan. The
lower the
P
ITCH
number, the higher the quality of the resulting scan. The
P
ITCH
set-
ting essentially instructs the scanner on how to set the film scanning stage mechanism
inside the scanner. It refers to the pitch of the lead screw mechanism that drives the
film stage. The higher the pitch number, the more the stage moves for every scan line
and the lower the resulting resolution.

ITCH
