I am in the process of scanning some old slides of 60s to 90s and
wondered what the optimum size should be for posting on this N/G. They will be scanned at about 300dpi. Regards PJM |

Luke May I add that the size that you suggested should be at ~72 dpi resolution to keep the file size smaller for the web. Monitors cannot display the 300 dpi res any better than the 72 dpi res. The 300 is good for printing. Tom |

I prefer 800x600 or larger. Most of us have monitors set at that size or
larger. Using any smaller gives just that - a very small picture. The 640x480 size was for very old monitors - hardly anyone has their monitor set at that resolution since monitors have physically grown in size. "P & H Macguire" wrote in message ...

Regards PJM If one is going to benefit from old slide and negative resolution, scan at the highest resolution your system can handle. Some amazing detail is available in some of them. Store or archive them in that highest resolution. Store on CD or DVD disks. Then when one wants to post to newsgroups or internet sites, you can downsize copies for posting if that's what your intended viewers want. BUT, keeping the high resolution scans makes it possible to clip out portions of the original picture, magnify the clips and find great history in the details! For the record, I usually do not follow my own good sense advise. Old Chief Lynn |
