Scanning and Printing


If I scan a 4x6 print on a flatbed scanner at 600dpi, can I get a good quality print at 5x7 or 8x10? (The pixel demension is 2172x3367.) Thanks.

  You're good to go, Cheryl. Divide your longer dimension, 3367, by 300. 300 ppi is the input resolution preferred by art editors. You've got your 10-inch long dimension plus some.
