scanner

Tip 1: If you need to scan an image, and you want to use it at close to its original size and you are NOT going to print it, scan it at approx. 85 dpi. This gives you plenty of pixels to play around with before porting the image to the web, iMovie, etc. Basically, when the image is only going to be displayed on a video screen only, all you're trying to do is to get the right amount of pixels in both height and width in order to produce the physical dimensions you want. That's all there is to it.
