DPI

[~Lisa~]

Dose anybody know how many DPI i should scan at to print a 8x10 picture?

[LisaSharleen]

Depends on the quality you want your final pic to be
remember the higher the dpi, the higher the quality, the more size it will take up as a file

[~Lisa~]

I want to print it as a 8x10

[LisaSharleen]

so you're printing it on your home printer?

[LisaSharleen]

I'd scan it on the second highest setting your scanner will allow

[~Lisa~]

Oh, i misread. I want the highest quality i can!

[~Lisa~]

The second highest DPI it will allow is 9600. I thought that would be too much?

[LisaSharleen]

if you want a good quality print its not

however is the 8x10 also the original size?

[LisaSharleen]

Scan it at 2400.

[LisaSharleen]

wait you're scanning from the photo and not a negitive or slide right?

300 or a little higher should be more then sufficient.
