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

So scan at 2400 or 4800, and then sub sample for posting. Dedicated slide scanners for home use usually use 2400/4800/9600 dpi.
