A picture at 72 dpi and 7-800 pixel wide is a faily large picture usual screen setting for af graphic minitor is 1000x 1200 so at 800 pixel wide you will only have 400 oixel left for the border etc. on your desktop. For svanning to the web I usually make a large scan then need say 20 mb ore 20 cm at 300 dpi I do all my photoshop work on the large sizeand save it in rgb in tif format - alwasy save your original images in Tif never jpg. When I am satisfied I do a final save and then I downsize the image using image size to 72 dpi and 700pixels wide. The I press the save for web option in the file menu and choose the best maximum jpg setting and press save - I get an option were I whant to store the file. After that Photoshop jumps back to the illustration you just down sizes -if you close it do not save it as it will overwrite your original large image fil. If you forgot to save it befor you downsized it use the history pallet to go bac to the large size and save it. I do not use easy scan program but it will probably be ok until you get more in control - after that there are some very powerfull scanning programms on the market look forward to se your post and good luck Ruben ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Morgan" <mattmorgan1@mac.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 9:22 AM Subject: [Leica] Database keywords for web help? > After years of negs and trannies gathering dust in shoe boxes, I'd like to > have more than one set of eyes ever view some of my pictures, so I hope to > force them onto the LUG. > > I bought a new film scanner, Dimage Scan Elite 5400 and Photoshop CS, and > I haven't got a clue how to use them properly yet.
