I'm thinking about scanning some (about 500) family photos. What resolution should I set my scanner to?
I want the results good enough so that if someone wanted a digital print (for example, a 4 x6 print) that can be done without any blur. But at the same time I don't want to waste time and memory by scanning at a higher resolution that I really need.
This is just a scan of individual files and then burn to CD or DVD disc. That's all I need, nothing fancy. I just don't want the old photos lost so want a good digital version.
Thanks.
