RE: [Digital BW] print quality: digital vs. wet darkroom

2002-06-05 by Austin Franklin

Hi David,

Do the following:

Scan at 700 SPI.  When you are in PhotoShop (this is assuming you are using
PS that is), select "image/image size" and UNCHECK the very bottom box
"Resample Image:".  then, change your width/height to suit your needs, and
let the resolution fall where ever it does.

See if that gives you a better print.  Oh, and please report back ;-)

Regards,

Austin
