Why
is My Scan So Huge?________
The
higher the resolution, the bigger the picture is when viewed on a monitor.
If you are printing your scan, the large size you
see on the screen does not affect the print size. However, if you want your scan
to fit on the monitor for viewing, the first thing to consider is resolution.
Higher dpi = higher resolution = a bigger block
on screen
= a bigger file = longer upload and download.
SOOO...
USE 72 DPI when your scan is meant to be viewed on a monitor.
USE 300 DPI when your scan is meant to be printed.
